1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, plus more for serving
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, drained and picked over
6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
6 top-split buns
1 head butter lettuce (such as Boston), leaves separated, for serving

NEW ENGLAND CRAB ROLLS

Categories     Sandwich     Shellfish     Picnic     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Lunch     Mayonnaise     Seafood     Crab     Summer     Bon Appétit     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 pound fresh crabmeat, picked over
3 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, room temperature
4 hot dog buns, sides split open
4 red leaf or Bibb lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • Whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon peel, and cayenne pepper in medium bowl. Mix in crabmeat and chopped green onions. Season crab salad to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Spread butter on insides of hot dog buns. Warm large skillet over medium heat 1 minute. Place buns, buttered side down, in preheated skillet and toast until golden, about 5 minutes. Place 2 toasted buns on each of 2 plates. Place 1 lettuce leaf inside each bun. Divide crab salad among buns and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh king crab meat. Fresh king crab meat has a sweet, briny flavor and a firm, flaky texture. Avoid frozen crab meat, as it can be mushy and have a less desirable flavor.
  • Make sure your mayonnaise is cold. Cold mayonnaise will help to keep the crab rolls cold and refreshing. If your mayonnaise is too warm, it can start to melt and make the rolls soggy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. Different vegetables will add different flavors and textures to your crab rolls. Some good options include celery, red onion, cucumber, and avocado.
  • Be careful not to overstuff the rolls. If you overstuff the rolls, they will be difficult to eat and may fall apart. Aim to fill the rolls about two-thirds full.
  • Serve the crab rolls immediately. Crab rolls are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

King crab rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick and easy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting recipe, give king crab rolls a try.
