Hot And Spicy Crab Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Combine the first 12 ingredients. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour., Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry. Roll each pastry into a 10-in. square; cut each into twenty-five 2-in. squares. Using a round 1-1/2-in. cookie cutter, cut out the centers of half the puff pastry squares. Whisk egg and water; brush over pastry. Place cutout squares on top of solid squares; transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets., Bake until golden brown, about 18 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Once cool, spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of crab salad into center of each cooked pastry. If desired, top with minced parsley and seasoning. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the first six ingredients; gently stir in crab. If desired, spread over bread. Serve with lime wedges if desired.

Steps:

• In a small dry skillet over medium heat, add the chiles, chili powder, coriander, cumin, oregano, paprika, and cinnamon stick. Heat just until the ingredients become fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Put the spices into a grinder and pulse to a powder. Massage the dry chili rub into the steaks; cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• For the crab salad: Put the crabmeat in a bowl and add the mayonnaise, shallots, cilantro, chili sauce, and lime juice. Mix gently to combine the ingredients without breaking up the large lumps of crabmeat. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you want to grill them to bring them up to room temperature. Heat the grill; brush the grate with some olive oil. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and place them on the hot grill. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium rare. When the steaks are cooked to your liking, put them on a platter, cover them with aluminum foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve a generous scoop of crab meat on top of the steaks. Garnish with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine all the ingredients, except the crackers, and place in 4 individual ramekins or 1 large gratin dish. Top evenly with crushed butter crackers. Bake in oven for 20 - 25 minutes, until heated through.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix all ingredients.
• Serve chilled with crackers or tostadas.
• Use more or less of the cottage cheese depending on your taste. Same applies for the hot sauce. Make sure everything is well drained or you will have a very watery salad.

Steps:

• Put the crab meat in a mixing bowl, add the chilies, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper and lime juice and toss gently, being careful to break up the crab meat as little as possible.
• In another bowl, toss together the jicama, carrots and lemon juice. (The salad can be prepared to this point up to an hour ahead.) Add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, the mint and the cilantro and toss to combine.
• Divide the crab meat among 6 plates, mounding it in the center, and surround with the watercress. Scatter the jicama and carrots over the crab and serve immediately.
