I need some Ideas on what to cook w/ crabmeat?
My Hubby and Dad went crabbing this morning and caught tons of crabs, We boiled almost 3 dozen crabs and My Dad gave us a ton of crabmeat but I dont have any good recipes for crab meatmHave anyone tried to cook crab cakes before, If you have any good recipes please share b/c I really would hate to see it go all to waste or stay in my freezer for a while.
Re: I need some Ideas on what to cook w/ crabmeat?
you're soooo lucky!
you could make a seafood gumbo, click for recipe.
I don't have any crabcake recipes because it takes a lot of crab and I can never afford that much! But google it, I'm sure you can find one that suits your tastes.
You could also make crab au gratin or crab mornay. Or omelets with crab inside.
Crabcakes are SUPER simple.
1 egg
1lb of crabmeat
8-10 saltine crackers
5 tsp Old Bay Seasoning (we like ours spicy)
1 tsp mayo
I wait to add most of the old bay till last so it's a season to taste kind of thing. I do add 3 tsp to the initial mix, but I make two REALLY small ones that I use to see if the oil is the right temp and the seasoning is right.
So I make the cakes and put in the fridge will I heat up the oil in the pan. When I think it's right I add on of the really small cakes as a tester. Cook it and see if anything needs more seasoning, if it does you can sprinkle a little more on top of an already prepared cake. ENJOY! Before we lived in LA we used to make crab cakes all the time.
