Photo: Chilled Pea Shots with Spicy Crab Recipe
Ingredients
Pea Soup:
- 2 cups frozen sweet peas, run under cool water to thaw
- 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Spicy Crab:
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 tablespoon red chili paste, such as Sambal
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1 cup fresh lump crab meat, picked through
- 1/4 bunch fresh mint leaves, chopped
- Pinch sea salt
Directions
Blend the peas and vegetable broth in a blender until smooth. Take the lid off and, with the motor running, pour in the oil in a steady stream to emulsify the mixture. Add the lemon juice then chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
To make the spicy crab, whisk the canola oil, chili paste, and lemon juice together in a bowl. Fold in the crabmeat and mint and season with a pinch of salt. Fill espresso or sake cups, about 3/4 full, with the chilled pea soup. Garnish the pea shots with a generous tablespoon of the spicy crab and serve immediately.

I made this recipe as an appetizer for a bridal shower luncheon. It was excellent. Everyone loved it!! They were not only impressed by the taste, but also by the presentation. I used large shot type glasses and served them on a metal tray. I used a garden theme for the luncheon , and this was perfect recipe for the event. Peolpe were still talking about it at the wedding. A soup was served as an appetizer at the wedding, and they said mine was better. So, thank you Tyler! I made the soup the night before and placed in tight lidded glass jars. Next day, I made the crab before assembling the shots. The soup will sperate, but just remix by hand, and it is fine. I am serving them again at my party in July. Enjoy!!!
