This is my Nonnie's old family recipe, and it is the JAM
Feeds 4-6
20-45 minute prep time (depending on how good you are at pickin' dungeness, i'm obviously at the low end of that range)
- 2 medium to large cooked whole dungeness crabs (1.5-2 lbs each, pick ones on ice rather than packaged ones, and ask the monger if you can squeeze the legs - make sure they are firm with very little give)
- 1 eight oz. jar of cocktail sauce
- 2 tbsp maybronnaise
- 1/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 scallion stalks
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of pepper
- 1 sleeve of water crackers (or any cracker of your choosing)
- Medium size serving bowl
- Claw crackers or cleaned needle nosed pliers
Clean those crabbies, but don't toss all the mustard/tomalley because that adds A LOT of flavor. Add 1/2 teaspoon to the bowl
- Pick the crab and put all the meat into the serving bowl. Take great care with gathering the lump meat, its hard to do but so sweet!
- Dice the scallions
- Mix in the crab with the remainder of the ingredient
(That's just one, i'm a helluva picker)
That's your final delicious product right there
