Total Time
30 minutes
Container: Steamer Pot
Directions
  • Bring water to a boil in a steamer pot and then place the crab claws in the steamer basket.
  • Allow them to steam for about 6 or 9 minutes. Do not overcook because it could cause the meat to stick to the shell, making it hard to remove the meat from the claws.
  • When cooking, you are basically just heating up the crab claws because they are generally precooked when you buy them. After 9 or 10 minutes remove the stone crab from the steamer, crack the claws open and serve immediately.
  • Sprinkle lightly with lime juice and serve with melted garlic butter (see below) for dipping.
  • Garlic Butter: Blend the minced garlic in with the softened butter using a fork. Melt the blended butter before serving.

This salad recipe is good with crab meat or shrimp (or you can use both). Corn adds sweetness to the salad, and the rice works as the base. You can cook it without rice if you wish, but I prefer it with rice, and herbs (dill and parsley, or just dill) are important. I love to cook this salad on a day to day basis or for a dinner party. (Just serve the salad in puff pastry baskets). The ingredients for this salad are simple and may be found in every pantry.
