SPICY CRAB AND CORN PASTA



Spicy Crab and Corn Pasta image

Fresh crab meat may taste sweet and delicate, but it can stand up to spicy and strong flavors. In this summery pasta, crab is paired with fresh corn, which brings out its sweetness, and spicy, garlicky panko, which serves as a punchy, crunchy counterpoint. The bread crumbs are a little trick you'll want to keep in your back pocket for any pasta dish that needs a lift (or try them in place of croutons in a Caesar salad.) The crumbs are only mildly spicy as written, but bump up the red-pepper flakes if you want more heat. Finally, a note on Parmesan: The amount called for here is just enough to add depth of flavor, a bit of richness and a hit of salt. Purists who believe seafood and cheese should never mix can omit it altogether if desired.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, pastas, seafood

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
12 ounces spaghetti
1 lemon
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 garlic clove, grated
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
3/4 cup panko
1/2 cup dry white wine
Kernels from 1 large or 2 small ears corn (about 3/4 cup)
8 ounces fresh lump crab meat
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Julienned or torn fresh basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the spaghetti and cook, tossing occasionally, until al dente. Scoop out 1 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside. Zest, then juice the lemon, and set aside to use later.
  • Meanwhile, in a large (12-inch) skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low. Add the garlic, red-pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook for 1 minute, stirring often, until fragrant. Add the panko and cook, stirring occasionally, until the panko begins to brown. At that point, begin stirring almost constantly and cook until the crumbs are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside, reserving the skillet.
  • Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, along with the wine. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to melt the butter, and add the corn kernels. Cook until the corn is tender and the liquid is reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside until the pasta is ready.
  • Add the reserved pasta water to the skillet, along with 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, then add the cooked pasta and cook, tossing often, until about half the liquid has been absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the crab and parsley, toss, and cook for 1 more minute, until the crab is heated through. Off the heat, stir in the lemon juice, then the Parmesan, and toss until the cheese is melted. Taste for seasonings and add salt to taste.
  • Serve the pasta in shallow bowls, topped with a generous sprinkle of bread crumbs, lemon zest, basil and more red-pepper flakes if desired.

CRABMEAT AND CORN SOUP



Crabmeat and Corn Soup image

A very tasty chowder-type recipe. Delicious any time.

Provided by William Anatooskin

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Seafood

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
2 cups half-and-half
1 ¾ cups whole kernel corn
1 cup chopped green onions
1 pound fresh crab meat
½ teaspoon ground white pepper
½ teaspoon seasoning salt
1 tablespoon soy sauce
¼ cup chopped parsley

Steps:

  • In a heavy-bottomed pot, melt butter, add flour, and stir gently until blended; do not burn or let it darken. Add milk gradually, stirring all the while, then add half and half, stirring gently while blending. Add corn and green onions, and cook for a few minutes until tender.
  • Add crabmeat, pepper, salt, and soy sauce and simmer until very hot and small bubbles form around the edge; do not let boil. Adjust seasonings to taste. Garnish with sprinkles of chopped fresh parsley when serving and serve hot.
  • Variations: You may use 4 cobs of fresh corn instead of frozen or canned. Cut the kernels off the cob, scrape cob for juices, and then add to soup. Cook until corn is tender. Canned crabmeat or imitation crab may be used instead of fresh crabmeat. Use one 7 1/2-ounce can crabmeat (drained) and 8 ounces imitation crab (cut into small pieces). Combine the two and cook as noted above.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Use a good quality croissant: The croissant is the base of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality croissant. Look for a croissant that is light and fluffy, with a golden brown crust.
  • Don't overfill the croissants: The croissants can only hold so much filling, so don't overfill them. Otherwise, the filling will spill out and the croissants will be messy to eat.
  • Serve immediately: The crab and corn croissants are best served immediately, while they are still warm and flaky. You can also reheat them in the oven or toaster oven, but they won't be as good as when they are fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Crab and corn croissants are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a summer party or potluck, and they are sure to be a hit with your guests. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that everyone will love.
