CRAB COCKTAIL

Steps:

• COCKTAIL SAUCE: In a non-reactive mixing bowl, whisk together all ingredients until well combined. Cover and chill for at least an hour.
• SALAD: To assemble the crab cocktail, line the serving dish with the lettuce or spinach leaves. Gently stir the crab meat, green pepper, and celery together, so that the large lumps of crab meat are not broken. Heap the crab meat mixture on the greens. Spoon the cocktail sauce over the salad. Serve chilled

SEAFOOD DIP RECIPE

Sprinkle seafood with lemon juice. Mix cocktail sauce and horseradish together in a small bowl. Spread this over the seafood. Sprinkle with dill. Serve chilled with crackers.

SPICY SHRIMP & CRAB COCKTAIL

CRAB COCKTAIL SALAD

Steps:

• Pick over the crabmeat and discard any bits of shell.
• Mix the mayonnaise with the ketchup, Tabasco, mustard, lemon juice, and tarragon.
• Stir in the crab and spring onions. Taste and play around with the balance of flavourings until you get a perfect balance (but hold back - too much tasting will leave your guests with woefully diminished portions!).
• This can be mixed together an hour or two before serving, but bring back to room temperature before assembling the finished cocktail and serving.
• Remove the outer leaves of the Little Gem lettuces and shred the rest thinly. Place in a plastic bag and leave in the fridge until almost ready to serve.
• Take 4-6 sundae glasses or old-fashioned champagne glasses. Divide the lettuce between the glasses and top with the crab cocktail. Serve straight away.

• 3. Arrange the lettuce leaves in 4 to 6 martini glasses. Spoon the crab salad on top. Garnish with a dollop of the reserved sauce, the remaining tomatoes and lemon wedges.
