Topic: Crabs
Stuffed Crab is very common in many restaurants especially in the Philippines, there are also many variations in cooking this dish, some add meat, chicken or shrimps. They also add some vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and many strong herbs. Another variation is adding breadcrumbs, bread cubes, mayonnaise , cream. cheese, etc. However none of the above-mentioned fillers seems to interest me. I tasted many variations but the most simple one is the best for me, I like the stuffed crabs to be very natural in taste, I mean really crab. Did you got me? ƒ? To make the very real and natural tasting stuffed crab, here's the ingredients that I used:
Ingredients:
