CRAB, MANGO, AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH CITRUS DRESSING

Steps:

• Combine first 4 ingredients in small bowl; whisk in oil. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Mix in onion; let marinate 15 minutes.
• Combine crabmeat, mango, and avocado in large bowl. Gently mix in dressing. Overlap ends of 3 lettuce leaves in center of each plate, forming bowl. Mound salad in lettuce bowls and serve.

CRAB, AVOCADO, & MANGO SUSHI ROLL

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the crabmeat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and sugar.
• Place a piece of plastic wrap on the sushi mat. Using wet fingers, spread 1 1/4 cups of the rice evenly over the plastic wrap to form a rectangle slightly smaller than the sushi mat.
• Lay a sheet of nori over the rice. Arrange 1/4 of the crab mixture along the center of the nori leaving a 2-inch border at the top.
• Top the crab mixture with 1/4 of the avocado slices, 1/4 of the mango slices, and 1/4 of the red bell pepper slices.
• Using the sushi mat as a guide, fold the rice over the filling and roll into a cylinder. Remove the plastic wrap.
• Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Sprinkle each roll with the black sesame seeds.
• To serve, using a sharp, damp knife, slice each cylinder into 6 pieces (re-wet the knife after each slice). Arrange the crab rolls on a serving platter and serve with wasabi, sweet pickled ginger and soy sauce.
• Cook's Note: For spicier rolls, substitute the red bell pepper with 2 seeded and thinly sliced jalapenos.

CRAB AND AVOCADO "SANDWICHES" WITH MANGO COULIS

Steps:

• In a 10 inch saute pan, heat 1 cup canola oil on high heat. Test readiness with a piece of bread. Turn heat to medium. Check temperature with thermometer - it should read 375 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, combine crab, onion, scallions, bell pepper, mayonnaise, Tabasco, 1/4 cup of the breadcrumbs, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until fully incorporated. Make 3 ounce cakes and dredge in the flour, then egg and the remaining breadcrumbs. Lay the cakes in the oil and pan-fry for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel and season with salt in a mixing bowl.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
• In a blender combine ingredients and mix until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• To serve crab cakes, spoon puree onto the plate in a small pool. Slice the cake in half and lay the bottom portion in the puree. Spoon avocado salsa on top and place the top of the cake on the avocado like a sandwich. Top with a small amount of avocado and garnish with cilantro leaf.

CRAB AVOCADO MANGO STACK

Steps:

• Mix last 8 ingredients (mayo through Tabasco), & refrigerate.
• Use a dual open ended cylindrical mold to form the stacks. (If you don't have a mold, use an empty clean soup or veggie can with both ends removed.) Place the mold onto the serving plate.
• (use half of the ingredients in each mold).
• Gently push down the avocado slices into the bottom of the mold.
• Mix together the mango, jalapeno, red bell pepper, & red onion, then gently push down on top of the avocado layer.
• Gently toss the crab with the refrigerated mayo mix (remoulade), then gently push down on top of the mango layer.
• Carefully slide the mold off of the stack and chill until ready to serve.
• Serve cold.

CRAB AND MANGO SUMMER ROLLS

Steps:

• Remove meat from crab legs. Slice in thin strips 5 inches long, cover, and refrigerate.
• Cut mango flesh into strips 1/2 inch-by-2 1/2 inches. Cut lettuce leaves in half, discarding center ribs. Trim each scallion into two 5-inch lengths; slice lengthwise into very thin strips.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add salt and rice vermicelli to boiling water, and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain, and rinse in cold water.
• Transfer rice paper to a plastic bag. Place 2 paper towels, one on top of the other, on a work surface; dampen them slightly. Lay a sheet of rice paper on top. Cover with 2 more damp paper towels. Removing 1 sheet of rice paper at a time, repeat until you have 10 layers. Let stand until pliable, 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with plastic wrap.
• Across the bottom third of 1 sheet of rice paper place 2 pieces of lettuce; 4 cilantro leaves; 4 mint leaves; 1 piece of crab (if using lump crabmeat, 2 tablespoons); 2 pieces of mango, end to end; and 1/4 cup vermicelli. Cover with 4 strips of scallion, 4 cilantro leaves, and 4 mint leaves. Roll rice paper into a cylinder, stopping halfway. Fold left and right sides into the middle; finish rolling.
• Place on prepared baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate. Repeat entire process, making 10 rolls. To serve, trim ends with a sharp knife and cut the roll into 4 pieces. Serve dipping sauce on the side.

CRAB, MANGO, AND MINT NORI ROLLS

Steps:

• Cut skin from mango and cut flesh into julienne strips. Pick over crab meat to remove any bits of cartilage and shell and in a bowl stir together with lime juice, brown sugar, and salt to taste. If using wasabi powder, in a small bowl stir together with 2 teaspoons water and let stand, covered, 10 minutes to make wasabi paste.
• Cut nori sheets in half lengthwise. On a work surface put a sushi mat (see above note) with bamboo strips of mat parallel to front of work surface. (Alternatively, use a 9-inch square of heavy-duty foil as a mat.) Put 1 nori piece on mat with a short side lined up with edge of mat that is closest to you. Spread 1/4 teaspoon wasabi paste across bottom edge of nori and top with 5 or 6 mint leaves so that some stick out on each side. Top mint leaves evenly with a heaping tablespoon crab mixture and 2 or 3 mango strips. Beginning with a short side and using mat as a guide, roll up nori tightly (use mat to help tighten roll). Seal seam with a little water and with a sharp knife cut roll crosswise into 3 pieces. Make more rolls in same manner. Nori rolls may be made 3 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
