Ingredients

1/4 cup canola oil
1 pound Dungeness crab, in shell (or king crab, or shell on 1-pound (21/25 count) shrimp for substitute)
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon chile hot sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
3 tablespoons black bean garlic paste
1/4 cup white wine
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons green onions, sliced

Directions

In a large wok, heat canola oil over medium-high heat.

Crack crab shells in multiple areas to allow sauce to enter shell without crab shells falling apart.

Add crab to oil and quickly saute for 1 to 3 minutes until crab is hot. Remove crab and drain oil.

Add hoisin, chile hot sauce, black bean paste, and white wine and heat until bubbling. Add crab, toss for 30 seconds. Add sesame oil, and toss for 15 seconds.

Remove to plate and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

this is a keeper!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The first time I made this recipe it was a hit. Everyone in my family loved. It goes very well with white rice...it just... makes you want to have some more. I now have made this dish several times because it's easy, quick and delicious. I even showed my sister how to make it. And now even my aunt is asking for this recipe. I also tried making this with shrimp. Thanks Guy!!!Read more

Good flavor
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I enjoy the flavor of the sauce, but I found that it overpowered the king crab which has a mild sweet flavor. I think this... sauce would be better with chicken or pork.Read more

AWESOME !
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This crab recipe was great! Even my picky 5 year old daughter loved it! I've cooked it 3 times in the past 3 months. Each... time I tried something different. First time I used Dungenous crab. The second time I used Jumbo Shrimp, and the third time I used snow crab legs. Every time was equally delish !Read more
