Our crab is the perfect pairing to upscale your seasonal salads. Whether it is Summer and watermelon, or Fall and roasted butternut squash, your guests will be happy.
Crab Panzanella Salad
Toasted bread soaking up the mix of juices from the diced ripe tomatoes mixed with a light vinaigrette, a classic Summer salad with a little something extra, our delicious crab.
Watermelon & Crab Gazpacho
Well, Summer is officially here and it is getting hot in the kitchen! Here is a recipe that is not only seasonal and delicious, but is also pretty simple to make and doesn’t require any cooking. You can easily adjust the recipe, change the melon, change the herbs, add some spice, make it you own, the only thing you have to use is our crab.
Crab Ravigote
An Old School NOLA classic, based on a traditional French recipe. Emulsified hard boiled eggs give the body to this herbaceous version of a cold crab salad. Simply served with crostini or crudité as dip or even over poached salmon for an elegant Summertime entrée. The combination of herbs is up to you and what is available at the market, or in your herb garden if you are lucky enough to have one!
Crab & Corn Chowder
This is one of the most popular crab soups out there and for good reason. The marriage of the sweet corn and crab in a creamy soup base highlight with crispy, smoky bacon is a sure fire hit. When fresh corn is in season, but don’t let the lack of fresh corn stop you, the recipe works just as well with frozen corn.
Chilled Tomato Gazpacho with Crab
My family loves soup and I make it for them at least once a week. Crab is the perfect ingredient to elevate that tried and true recipe from boring to extraordinary. I happen to love tomatoes and at the end of the season this is a great way to use up all those “less than perfect” tomatoes that might not be quite perfect enough to make the plate on that Caprese salad. In the cooler months, you can easily substitute high quality canned tomatoes to give a little break from the cold Winter months with a Summertime classic.
Crab Horiatiki Salad
A classic Greek salad, aka Horiatiki, does not contain lettuce of any kind. Just tomatoes, bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, feta and a red wine vinaigrette. Well it is tomato season, so now is the perfect time to swap the feta for a little crab in this classic salad!
Crab & Watermelon Salad
Nothing says Summer to me more than watermelon, and it also just happens to be one of my favorite compliments to our sweet crab meat!
Crabby Avocado Toast
Avocado toast, just add crab! We have been doing this one for awhile, it is very simple, fresh and extremely delicious. Feel free to use any type of bread you want, rustic multi-grain works very well.
Crab Puttanesca
Always one of my favorite classic dishes to get an easy upscale update with the addition of crab. Since it is the height of tomato season, I switch from the traditional tomato sauce to a much lighter “Summer” version featuring fresh, roasted baby tomatoes.
