My Aunt Kate spotted this recipe for me. I can't wait to try it! Although the recipe calls for taco shells, I'll probably use warmed soft corn tortillas or tostada shells. From Sunset Kitchen Cabinet.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh crab meat: Fresh crab meat has a sweet and delicate flavor, making it the best choice for tacos. You can find fresh crab meat at most seafood markets or online.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Crab meat tacos are a blank canvas for toppings, so get creative! Some popular options include avocado, salsa, sour cream, and cheese. You can also add other seafood, such as shrimp or fish, to your tacos.
  • Cook the crab meat properly: Crab meat is delicate, so it's important to cook it carefully. Overcooking can make the crab meat tough and rubbery. The best way to cook crab meat is to sauté it over medium heat for a few minutes, until it is opaque and cooked through.
  • Use a good quality tortilla: The tortilla is the foundation of your taco, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for tortillas that are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Corn tortillas are a traditional choice for crab meat tacos, but you can also use flour tortillas or whole wheat tortillas.
  • Serve the tacos immediately: Crab meat tacos are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the tortillas are still warm and the crab meat is still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Crab meat tacos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of toppings to choose from, crab meat tacos can be customized to suit your own taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give crab meat tacos a try!
