Baked Crab
What is the easiest recipe to cook crab? The answer is baked crab.
I love the simplicity and the great taste of cooked crabs, with the vibrant orange color, intense aroma plus the succulent and natural sweetness of crab meat.
How to Bake Crab?
There are two ways to bake crabs. I like the traditional Chinese method of using a wok.
This simple and easy wok-baked crab calls for crabs, a little bit of water and a smoking hot wok.
The second method of baking crab is using an oven. Bake the crabs on a baking sheet at 400F for 15 – 20 minutes, or until the shells turn bright orange.
Ingredients
- 3 blue crabs
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
-
Rinse the crab with cold water and place them in a wok. Add the water and cover the wok with its lid.
-
Turn up the heat to high and wok bake the crab for 8 minutes or until they are cooked. Turn the crab every two minutes and then cover to continue baking. The crabs are cooked when the shell turn bright orange with intense aroma.
