Potatoes With Crab Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Prick holes in the potatoes with a fork and place directly on the oven rack. Roast until cooked through, about 45 minutes, depending on the size of the potato.
• While the potatoes are cooking prepare the crab: Add 2 tablespoons of butter to a frying pan. Add the shallots and cook until translucent. Next add the minced garlic and saute in the frying pan to gently brown the shallots and garlic. Add the thyme and crab and cook until heated through. Then set aside.
• Lower the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Once the potatoes are cooked and cool enough to handle cut, off a small portion of the top making an opening in the potato.
• Take a spoon and scoop the pulp into a bowl. Place the potato skins on a cookie sheet and put in a 350 degree F oven for about 5 minutes to dry them out and ensure they will be crispy when done.
• To the potato pulp, add the shallot/crab mixture, remaining butter, cheese and sour cream and mix. Then add parsley, salt and pepper, to taste. Fill the potato shells with the potato/crab mixture. Bake until cheese has melted around 35 to 45 minutes.
• Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Bring the water to a boil in a very large stockpot. Add the Old Bay, salt, garlic, chile flakes and parsley and boil for 10 minutes to infuse. Add the potatoes and cook another 10 minutes. Add the crabs; cook 10 minutes more, or until the crabs are cooked through. Carefully remove the crabs with tongs; then add the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until just opaque. Drain immediately. Serve the crab, shrimp and potatoes with melted butter, toasted bread and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• Scrub potatoes under running water; dry them, and rub the skin of each with the oil and a little salt. Pierce the skin of each in three or four places with the tines of a fork.
• Place the potatoes in the oven, and roast for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the potatoes, until they offer no resistance when a knife is inserted in their centers.
• While the potatoes are baking, lightly toss the crab meat in a bowl with the lemon juice, olive oil, shredded mint, diced jalapeño and sour cream.
• When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven, slice them open down the middle and use a spoon to scrape out their flesh into a bowl. Add the butter, salt and pepper and mash to combine. Spoon the mixture back into the empty jackets, place on a baking sheet, top with the crab-meat mixture and shower with cheese. Return to the oven for approximately 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.

Steps:

• To make the vanilla potatoes:
• In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. Then add shallots and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until soft. Pour in the white wine and deglaze the pan. Next, add the thyme and vanilla. Bring to a boil and continue boiling for 4 to 5 minutes or until the liquid is reduced by half of its volume. Add the cream and bring back up to a boil. Once at a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat, season with salt and cool. Blend the cream mixture in a blender and strain through a fine mesh strainer, and then set aside. In a saute pan, over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the cooked potatoes and cipollini onions and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until warm. Add the cream mixture and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes so that the potatoes and onions get coated with cream. Set aside until ready to serve.
• To make the Piquillo Crab Sauce:
• In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the white wine and lemon juice into the pan and stir to combine. Lower the heat to medium and add the smoked paprika and heavy whipping cream. Cook for 1 minute and then add the piquillo peppers, cooking for 1 minute more. Remove the pan from the heat, letting it cool briefly, and then pour mixture into a blender. Blend the red pepper mixture on low, then increasing to high, until smooth. Season the mixture with salt and then pour into a clean saucepan over medium heat and add the butter, gently stirring to combine. Add the crabmeat and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the crabmeat is heated through. Reduce heat to low and simmer sauce until ready to serve.
• To make the beef tenderloin:
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the beef tenderloin steaks on a clean work surface. Pat dry and then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. In a large, oven-proof saute pan or skillet, add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the tenderloins and sear on 1 side, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip steaks to cook on the second side and then immediately place the skillet in the oven to finish cooking, about 4 minutes more.
• To serve, spoon a portion of the Vanilla Potatoes on the center of a plate. Place a tenderloin steak on top of the potatoes and then spoon a portion of the Piquillo Crab Sauce on top of the steak.

Steps:

• In a 7- to 8-gallon kettle bring 5 gallons water to a boil.
• While water is coming to a boil, in a deep sink rinse crabs in 2 or 3 changes of water. (Do not fill sink too full or crabs may crawl out.)
• Add Zatarain's crab boil or 5 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning, cayenne, salt, lemons, and onions to boiling water and boil 5 minutes. Add potatoes and garlic and boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer potatoes and garlic with a large sieve to a large platter and keep warm, covered with foil. Add corn to boiling water and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer corn with tongs to platter and keep warm, covered with foil.
• Return water to a boil. Transfer about 6 crabs carefully with long tongs to sieve, holding them down in sieve with tongs, and turn crabs out into boiling water. Add remaining crabs in same manner. Return water to a boil and cook crabs until just cooked through, about 10 minutes. (To determine doneness, remove a claw and crack it with the handle of a dinner knife. Use Knife to extract meat from claw.) Transfer crabs with sieve to another large platter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning.
• Return water to boil and cook shrimp until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp with sieve to large platter with crabs and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon Old Bay seasoning.
• Serve crabs, shrimp, and vegetables with horseradish cocktail sauce and French bread.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the halibut crab cake roulade: In a skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Saute the shallots until soft. Add the bell peppers and let soften a little. Toss with the tomatoes and cook for a few minutes. Mix in the panko, crab, Dijon and paprika. Sprinkle the halibut with salt and pepper. Top with the crab cake mix. Roll and secure with toothpicks. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 7 minutes.
• For the sauce: Simmer the heavy cream until reduced by half, mixing frequently so it doesn't scald. In a blender, blend the yolks on low. Slowly add the hot melted butter in a steady stream. Add lemon juice to taste. Mix in the reduced cream to stabilize the sauce.
• For the potatoes: Toss the potatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes, and then toss with the rosemary and truffle oil.
• For the green beans: Blanch the beans in hot water. Toss in the butter, salt and pepper to taste. Season with lemon juice.
• Serve the halibut crab cake roulades with the lemon cream sauce, green beans and roasted potatoes.

Steps:

• Meanwhile, combine cream cheese, Greek yogurt, buttermilk, butter, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a food processor; blend until smooth.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Drain potatoes and mash in a large bowl. Fold in cream cheese mixture. Whisk until smooth and blended. Add in crabmeat, stirring carefully to avoid breaking it up too much. Spoon potato mixture into a large, oven-safe casserole.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and toasted, about 10 minutes.
• Top with chives just before serving.

Steps:

• Microwave potatoes as directed on package; place in large bowl. (Do not mash.) Cool slightly.
