Steps:
- Mix together the crab meat, tomatoes and red onion. Keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. On the day, mix through the lime zest, juice and chopped coriander, then pile onto the crostini to serve.
- For the crostini bases, cut each of the 4 baguettes into 20 slices, ½cm thick, discarding ends. Drizzle with olive oil and place under the grill. Cook for 2-3 mins until lightly golden, then turn over and cook for another 1-2 mins until golden and crisp all over. Do this in batches and store in a large, airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest seafood possible. Fresh crab and shrimp will have a clean, briny smell and a firm texture. Avoid any seafood that smells fishy or has a slimy texture.
- Cook the seafood properly. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy. Crab and shrimp should be cooked just until they are opaque and firm. You can steam, boil, or grill the seafood.
- Prepare the salad in advance. The salad can be made up to 2 hours ahead of time. Just cover it and refrigerate it until you're ready to serve.
- Use a variety of toppings. The salad can be topped with a variety of ingredients, such as avocado, tomato, cucumber, and red onion. You can also add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, or a sprinkle of hot sauce.
- Serve the salad chilled. The salad is best served chilled. You can chill it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
