How to cook seafood is one of the most frequently asked question by people who love eating it in restaurants. Some of them even go to the extent of seeking recipes for how to cook crab meat. This is not as easy as it sounds. It is true that crab is one of the tastiest fishes available around. However, you should know how to cook crab meat on stove.
One of the reasons why people love cooked crab meat so much is because of its succulentness. The reason is that crab is cooked with its claws intact. This is why when you are cooking crab you should use just enough of the claws to make sure that there is enough of the meat left in the pot. For frying crab, you can either use butter or a cooking oil. You may want to buy some good quality cooking oil to ensure that the crab is cooked thoroughly.
For this recipe you will need two to three cloves of garlic, some lemon juice, some salt and some butter. Firstly, you should put the garlic on a plate and then take a small amount of lemon juice and cut it into small pieces. Put all the small pieces of garlic on top of the lemon juice and add a few pinches of salt. When the garlic is cooked, squeeze out the juice and keep the garlic aside.
Now it is time to cook the crab meat. Using a tablespoon, crush the crab meat. Then, add it to the hot buttered skillet. The meat should be brown on both sides. If it is not brown enough, then add a little more of the lemon juice to it.
Allow the crab meat to boil for approximately ten minutes. Once it is done, remove it from the heat. Place the cooked meat in a large pot and add some more salt to it. Add a whole lot of pepper and some oregano, if you can find it.
Once you have done that, add a little bit of butter to the mix. It is important that you have enough butter so that the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pot. Add the crab meat to the hot buttered pan and cover it tightly. Turn the burner on medium heat and let it cook for about seven minutes. When it is done, open the pot and add the parsley. Allow it to be mixed thoroughly with the crab meat.
As an alternative, you can also add a lemon wedge to the mix, if you are not too worried about the taste of the crabmeat. In this way, you can also get a nice refreshing flavor. Once the lemon mixture has cooled down completely, you can put it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for several days. Another way to store leftovers is to allow them to be chopped up into little pieces and then use those pieces in your recipes.
One of the best ways to make use of leftovers is to put them into a jar of mayo. You may want to add a little lemon slices and an egg or two. The acidity level of the jar may vary, depending on how much acidity the jar contains. Put the jar of mayo into your refrigerator for a couple of days and then use it to marinate the leftovers for up to one week. It is not advisable to freeze mayo for at least a month, because the acidity level of the jar may decrease after a month.
