I Apologize ahead of time if you are not a seafood fan, so you need not read further. Unless of course you like torture.
I may be the luckiest girl in the world. At least that's how I feel tonight.
Thanks to my friends at Kloosterboer, Brandon spared me some of the loveliest legs I have ever seen. Crab legs, that is. My only regret is that I didn't photograph them before I dismantled them.
But the meat is beautiful...
Now, what to do with it? Beyond the obvious, eat it, with lots of butter. I want to showcase this lovely crustacean flesh in a dish that will be healthy and most definitely delicious. My first thought was crab quiche; pretty high in fat and not much else. :(
Dustin suggested crab cakes. I wasn't too hot on the idea at first, but now that my wheels are turning, I think that could be the best bet. Found a recipe by Elie Krieger on foodnetwork.com that I was sure would hit the mark since she is known to lighten up many dishes without sacrificing flavor. But I was left searching for a bit more.
I'll let you know what I come up with...
