SPAGHETTINI WITH CRAB, LIME & CHILLI

Spaghettini With Crab, Lime & Chilli image

From Bill Granger's bills Sydney Food. This dish relies on the hot pasta to warm the other ingredients, so combine immediately after draining. This works well as a quick weeknight meal. I've made many variations, using only lemon zest and juice, coriander in place of the parsley, omitting the lime and adding Parmesan, etc. . . It's easy and versatile.

Tips:

Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is delicate and can easily become tough if overcooked. Cook it just until it is heated through.
Be careful not to burn the garlic and chili flakes. Garlic and chili flakes can burn easily, so be sure to cook them over low heat.
Add the lemon zest and juice at the end of cooking. This will help to brighten the flavors of the dish.
Serve the spicy crab spaghettini immediately. This dish is best enjoyed when served hot.
