Thai Fresh Crab Chowder image

This Thai-inspired crab chowder has some zippy ingredients, balanced to frame the crab without overpowering it. Shelling fresh crab is the most time-intensive and tedious part of the preparation. Taste as you cook; you don't want the ingredients to overpower the delicate taste of the crab.
