Crab Tacos Recipes

CRAB TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Put tomatoes, garlic, half of the jalapeño, 1/4 cup cilantro, and the lime juice in a food processor and pulse a few times to chop.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Set salsa aside.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
• Sauté onion and remaining jalapeño until soft, 4 minutes.
• Add crab and cook just until crab is warm, about 2 minutes.
• Put taco shells or tortillas on a baking pan and warm in oven, about 3 minutes.
• Arrange on a platter and fill with crab mixture, dividing evenly.
• Top crab with lettuce, cheese, and avocado.
• Sprinkle tacos with green onion and remaining 1/4 cup cilantro.
• Serve immediately, with salsa on the side or on top.

DUNGENESS CRAB TACOS WITH RADISHES

Steps:

• Set aside 1 tsp (5 mL) of lemon juice for the avocado. Mix remaining juice with lemon zest, miso paste, mustard, honey, and canola oil in a blender to make the dressing. Mash avocado with a fork. Season with 1 tsp (5 mL) lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Mix about 1/4 cup (60 mL) dressing into the crab meat and taste, adjusting as needed. Refrigerate the remaining dressing for up to two weeks - it works great on salads.
• To serve, put crab meat mixture into the wonton shells so they are bursting. Spoon the avocado mixture onto a plate and place assembled tacos on top. Garnish with radish slices and sprouts.
