Behind the scoreboard at AT&T Park in San Francisco, the Crazy Crab'z stand sells a fresh, light crab salad like this. We dress it up with avocado and parsley, then serve the salad in lettuce cups to make it finger-friendly. It is fantastic, easy & fast! Western Magazine - 10/2008. Ingredients:
1 lb shelled cooked crabmeat, picked over for shells |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley |
1/4 cup minced red onion |
1 teaspoon sugar |
kosher salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
2 pinches crushed red pepper flakes (optional) |
16 medium butter lettuce leaves (about 2 heads) |
1 avocado, cut into 16 thin slices |
2 teaspoons prepared seafood cocktail sauce (with horseradish) |
1 lemon, sliced into small wedges |
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, stir together crab, mayonnaise, parsley, onion, and sugar until well combined.
2. Add salt, pepper, & crushed red pepper flakes (if using) to taste, then chill until ready to serve.
3. Arrange lettuce on a large platter.
4. Place about 2 tablespoons crab mixture onto center of each leaf.
5. Top each with a slice of avocado, about 1/8 teaspoons cocktail sauce, a lemon wedge, and salt and pepper to taste.
6. Enjoy!
