Photo: Asian Crab Recipe
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 the best dungeness crab recipe ever! My husband and I crave it. I've probably made it at least 10 times and we're never tired of it. And it's easy as long as you can get whole live crab. We go to the local Asian market being in land-locked Colorado.

The sauce was great, I used shrimp scallops instead of crab and it rocked!
