Provided by Tyler Florence

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups frozen peas, thawed
1 14.5-ounce can vegetable broth
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Sea salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sambal oelek (Asian chili paste)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 cup fresh lump crabmeat, picked over
1/4 bunch mint, finely chopped
Sea salt

Steps:

  • Make the soup: Blend the peas and vegetable broth in a blender until very smooth. With the motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil in a steady stream to emulsify the mixture. Add half of the lemon juice, then chill the soup in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Season with salt and the remaining lemon juice before serving.
  • Prepare the crab: Whisk the olive oil, sambal oelek and lemon juice together in a bowl. Fold in the crabmeat and mint and season with a pinch of salt. Fill small cups or glasses about three-quarters of the way with the chilled pea soup. Garnish each portion with 1 generous tablespoon of the spicy crab and serve immediately.

two 3-ounce packets Zatarain's crab boil or 5 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
1 tablespoon cayenne
1/2 cup table salt
3 lemons, quartered
2 onions, halved
1 1/2 pounds small potatoes (about 2 inches in diameter)

2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning*, or to taste, for sprinkling over boiled seafood
2 pounds large shrimp (about 30, preferably with heads)
Accompaniments:Horseradish Cocktail Sauce and French bread

Steps:

  • In a 7- to 8-gallon kettle bring 5 gallons water to a boil.
  • While water is coming to a boil, in a deep sink rinse crabs in 2 or 3 changes of water. (Do not fill sink too full or crabs may crawl out.)
  • Add Zatarain's crab boil or 5 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning, cayenne, salt, lemons, and onions to boiling water and boil 5 minutes.

(To determine doneness, remove a claw and crack it with the handle of a dinner knife. Use Knife to extract meat from claw.) Transfer crabs with sieve to another large platter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning.
