Crab Salsa Recipes

CRAB-SALSA STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Clean mushrooms and let dry. Remove stems from mushrooms and place in resealable bag set in a bowl. In another bowl, mix oil, vinegar, pepper and the garlic and pour over the mushrooms. Place the mushrooms in the refrigerator for at least 6-24 hours (the longer the better).
• Stir cream cheese and salsa together and fold in the crabmeat. Drain the marinade from the mushroom caps. Pat the caps dry. Place the mushroom caps on a baking sheet and fill with crabmeat mixture. Broil (4 inches from heat) for about 5-7 mins until hot and starts to bubble. Serve warm with extra salsa on the side and sprinkle with chopped green onions. If you want, add hot sauce to crabmeat mixture before broiling.

LUMP CRAB SALSA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the cilantro, shallots, bell pepper, jalapeno, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, and olive oil.
• Fold in the crab and season with salt and pepper.
• Refrigerate for 1 hour. Let the salsa come to room temperature, then fold in the almonds.
• Serve with chips.

MINI CRAB CAKES WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• For the crab cakes: Whisk together the mayonnaise, Worcestershire, seafood seasoning, scallions, egg, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the bread and toss to coat.
• Add the crab and combine the mixture well with your hands. Form 18 small crab cakes, about 2 inches wide and 1/2-inch thick, making sure to pack the cakes tightly with your hands.
• Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until the foam subsides. Working in batches, add the crab cakes and cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and heated through, about 3 minutes per side.
• For the mango salsa: Combine the cilantro, sugar, cucumber, lemon juice, mango and jalapeno in a medium bowl and season with salt.
• For the creamy Dijon: Combine the mayonnaise and Dijon in a small bowl and mix well.
• Serve the hot crab cakes topped with a dollop of the creamy Dijon and a little of the salsa.
