Need a recipe that uses crab meat

500

I have an 8oz tub of claw meat. I've already made a real good dip of cream cheese w/ Worcestershire sauce, topped w/ cocktail sauce, and then topped w/ crab claw meat. Great dip with pita crackers. So I'm looking for something besides that. Thanks, folks!

Gumbo? But you need some more stuff. I made the best gumbo I have ever made this weekend. Made a homemade seafood stock, etc.  

it it was awesome- bottom pic wife's bowl she wanted less broth

Not sure what kind of crab you have.  If blue claw, you can strip it, and stuff a flounder filet with it or put it on a steak or pork chop and  have them "Oscar" style....
Or just as a snack in front of the TV  8OZ is not that much

I love crab cakes. Never made 'em myself and don't have a recipe for you, but it's on my list of things to figure out. One of these days.

If you have the whole claws, you can batter them and deep fry them. Simple and down right delicious. If you only have the meat, then crab cakes are a delicacy my friend.

Crabcakes are easy - crab meat, a little binder (egg), a little breading, and fry them up.  Usually you wouldn't use claw meat, though.

I know you said you already made a dip, but this one is awesome.

ABT's-dang you can load them with anything and always a winner.

Since it's claw meat, it'll be best in a dip or soup. I'd make some imperial and stick it on top of a steak or stuff it in flounder/grouper/rockfish.

Marlyland style crab cakes for sure.  

*edit - just realized you said claw meat... lump would prolly be best for crab cakes*

This would be my choice, on top of filet mignon.

I was thinking hot crab dip, there are many to choose. I think crab dip is the winner. Thanks

I just made crab cakes with my leftover from the weekend. It was the Paula deen recipe that pops up first with google. Very easy and tasty.

@Wolfpack that looks amazing! Care to share the recipe?

Ok. Maybe I spoke too soon. I do have some baby bella mushrooms. That sounds good too, DMW.

Stuff ABTs with a mix of the crab, shallots and gruyere cheese. Cook as normal.

Keep your crab away from my steaks.

Crab cakes 1st and foremost. Use to stuff lobster. Stuffing for ABTs. Eggs Benedict. Lots of use for Blue Crab

I usually use jumbo lump for my crab cakes, but I recently made them with claw meat that my fish guys had on-hand.



They were really good!  I did miss the big lumps of crab, but the flavor was a little sweeter.  I wouldn't shy away from it. 
This is the recipe I use.

You could also make crab stuffed shrimp wrapped in bacon.   That's another one of my favorites.

Here is the simplest, easiest and most awe-inspiring rock star crab related recipe i ever made:   small diameter but thicker, at least 1.5" filet mignon, reverse seared, to med rare, smear the top of each steak with roasted garlic cloves-if you cooked them right, the garlic will spread like peanut butter and have a light, sweet nutty flavor.  Be sure not to over roast the garlic. Then,  top with lump dungeness crab meat.  This will not work with alaskan king crab as well as it will with dungeness.  Make sure all the hard bits and connective parts removed from crab.   Put 2 tbsp of slightly warmed crab meat on top of each filet (optional to wrap filets in bacon or prosciutto) and put two lightly charred asparagus spears on top of each mound of crab.    Most cover with Hollandaise sauce but what i did in an improvisation once was drizzle clarified butter that had a little bit of fresh roasted rosemary in it. Go VERY easy on rosemary.

When i made this the ones who ate it said it should be entered in a contest.  It was ridiculous

Btw, everything in that recipe was cooked on or heated on minimax
