👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Prepare the crabs: If using live crabs, scald them in boiling salted water for a few minutes, then clean and reserve the shells (backs). Pick out all the crab meat, ensuring no shell fragments remain. Mix white and brown meat.
- 2
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion, minced garlic, chopped seasoning peppers, hot pepper, parsley, celery, and thyme. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Add the picked crab meat to the skillet. Stir in lime juice and Worcestershire sauce (if using). Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring gently, until the crab meat is heated through and well combined with the aromatics.
- 4
Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in half of the breadcrumbs to help bind the mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- 5
Carefully spoon the crab mixture back into the cleaned crab shells. Press gently to fill.
- 6
Top each filled crab shell with the remaining breadcrumbs. You can dot with a little extra butter if desired.
- 7
Place the filled crab backs on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
- 8
Serve hot as an appetizer or a side dish.
