Salt And Pepper Crab - CDKitchen.com

serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  under 30 minutes

ingredients

1 Dungeness or Jonah crab (2.5-3 pound size)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 piece (3 inch size) fresh ginger, peeled and cut into slivers
1 shallot, minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
3 tablespoons water
2 scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths
4 cilantro sprigs, coarsely chopped

directions

In a large pot of boiling water, cook the crab until it turns pink, 8 to 10 minutes; drain. Remove and reserve the tomalley (the greenish liver). Using a large knife, crack the crab legs at the joints and quarter the body.

Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic, ginger and shallot and stir-fry until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add the reserved tomalley and stir to break it up.

Add the salt, sugar, soy sauce, black pepper, crushed red pepper and crab and stir-fry until the crab is evenly coated with the seasonings. Add the water and scallions and cook for 3 minutes.

Transfer the crab to a bowl, garnish with the cilantro and serve with lots of napkins.
