CRAB LOUIS



Crab Louis image

This is a chilled salad invented by a Seattle chef-and I feel like that makes sense. It had to be a chef that had a ton of fresh seafood around that would create a dish like this. Honestly, it's a bit elaborate, but it's wonderful because it manages to be both casual and fancy at the same time. The sauce has a tingle of heat and some sweetness, too. It's almost like a slightly creamy cousin of shrimp cocktail, but with crabmeat.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chili sauce
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
4 scallions, minced
Kosher salt
2 cups (about 1 pound) cleaned, cooked lump or jumbo lump crab meat, chilled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small bunch chives, minced
1 head Bibb lettuce, leaves separated
1 cup cherry tomatoes, preferably Sweet 100, or grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered
1 large lemon, sliced, for squeezing

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, sour cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, half the scallions and a pinch of salt. Taste for seasoning.

  • To plate: Arrange the lettuce leaves as cups in a circle on a large plate. Disperse the tomatoes around the lettuce. Spoon some of the crab into each lettuce cup. Top each cup with an egg quarter and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the remaining chives and a squeeze of lemon. Hold in the refrigerator until ready to serve and enjoy cold.

LOUIE DRESSING (FOR SEAFOOD SALADS OR REUBEN SANDWICHES)



Louie Dressing (For Seafood Salads or Reuben Sandwiches) image

One of my favorite memories of going to a restaurant when I was growing up was getting to order a Shrimp Louie or Crab Louie from someplace like the Reuben E. Lee. It wasn't until later in life that I discovered the joy of a well-crafted Reuben sandwich (no relation to the restaurant mentioned earlier), which later in life became one of our highest-rated sandwiches in our deli. This Louie dressing will make either of these better than simple Thousand Island or Russian.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible. Fresh crab meat, mayonnaise, and lemon juice will give your salad the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the crab meat. Cook it just until it is opaque and tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the salad. Overmixing can break up the crab meat and make the salad watery.
  • Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
  • Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce or greens. This will add color and crunch to the dish.

Conclusion:

Louis crab salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a Louis crab salad that will be the star of your next party or gathering.
