The recipe of this dish had been filed in my recipe collection since few years ago and I always forgot to try it because our all time favorite way to cook crabs at home is simply boiling it. Few days ago, we bought some crabs and I tried to cook it this way:
Ingredients:
3 medium fat crabs, boiled
1 cup desiccated coconut (chopped young coconut if available)
1 ½ cup coconut milk
1 thumb-sized ginger, minced
1 medium onion, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions:1. Open and remove all the shells fat lining.2. Mix crabs fat lining with desiccated coconut, few salt and half of the minced onion.3. Fill the shells with the mixture.
4. Wrap each shell with aluminum foil.
5. Arrange the other part of the crabs in a pan and place over them the shells wrap in aluminum foil.
6. Add coconut milk, ginger, onion, jalapeno pepper, salt and black pepper. Let it boil, simmer for 3 minutes.
7. Unwrap the shells and transfer to a platter. Serve.
