Doesn't this Linguine with Crab look delightful? Not only does it look compellingly good, it's taste is satisfying and quite filling! We wouldn't change a thing on this recipe.
Directions: In a large pot bring sufficient water to the boil and place the crabs in (you may wish to put the crabs in the freezer for some time prior to this if concerned as to the crab's welfare). Boil gently for 20 minutes, removing from the water and leave to cool. Having removed the legs and claws, break the bodies carefully and remove the brown meat along with any juices into a bowl. Now remove the white meat from the claws and mix in the bowl. Finely chop the chillies (seeds in for extra heat, out for a less hot version) and add to the coriander and parsley (reserve a little parsley for garnish) , lemon juice and crushed garlic. Now mix with the crab mixture and stir in the olive oil. The resulting sauce is quite wet. Cook the linguine as per packet instructions and drain thoroughly. Immediately stir in the crab sauce, mixing well. Serve immediately, sprinkling each serving with a little of the reserved parsley and a good glug of extra virgin olive oil and freshly ground black pepper. Plenty of crusty bread to mop up the sauce and a very cold flinty white wine will make this a memorable starter or supper! Enjoy!

Their shells will turn bright red when properly cooked. Already cooked crab meat is widely available. Although it's often sold frozen, seek out fresh cooked crab meat for the best flavor and texture. In the months of September through April, during most crab fishing seasons is when the local fish markets often sell cooked whole crabs. Ask for them to be cleaned and cracked, or take them home crack them yourself and then remove the meat. Join our newletter "Crab Clique"
