Comment:
This crab recipe calls for many cloves of garlic. Once the garlic
has been sautéed in butter sauce and baked with crabs, it
becomes quite sweet. The garlic can then be spread on French bread
along with butter dipped from the baking pan.
Ingredients:
1 dozen crabs, cleaned
1 pound melted butter
1 cup olive oil
40 cloves garlic, sliced
¼ cup diced onions
¼ cup diced celery
¼ cup diced red bell peppers
¼ cup sliced green onions
¼ cup chopped parsley
2 bay leaves
Worcestershire sauce to taste
Louisiana hot sauce to taste
salt and cracked black pepper to taste
French bread for dipping
Method:
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large sauté pan, melt butter
over medium-high heat. Pour in olive oil to prevent butter from
burning. Add garlic, onions, celery, bell peppers, green onions,
parsley and bay leaves. Stir constantly to prevent garlic from scorching.
Garlic that is over-browned will taste bitter. Season with Worcestershire,
hot sauce, salt and pepper. Place crabs in a large casserole dish
with a 1 or 2-inch lip and cover with garlic butter mixture. Bake
15–20 minutes, remove and serve warm with hot French bread.
