Best 3 Krab Salad Recipes
Krab salad is a delicious seafood dish with an interesting history. While many people now use canned or imitation krab meat, real krab salad was made with fresh crab. If you have access to fresh crab and wish to use it to make this dish, snow crab is a good variety for picking. First, steam the crab until it is cooked through, then cool the crab before picking out its meat. As you pick out the meat, be sure to remove any bits of bone and shell. From there, you can follow any recipe to prepare your delightful seafood dish.
Here are our top 3 tried and tested recipes!
KRAB SALAD
This tastes better than any Krab salad from a Deli. You can substitute cooked Krab and shrimp for the 12 oz. cooked Krab. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to suit your own taste. The two hours cooking time is actually the time in the refrigerator. Have plenty of your favorite crackers on hand!
