Healthy Crab Recipe

Skill Level: Beginner
Prep Time 20 minutes
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Cameron’s Lump Maryland Crab Meat
  • 1 cup lettuce shredded
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup of cilantro leaves
  • 2 tbsp basil leaves
  • ½ lime juiced
  • 14 round rice paper wrappers 8 or 9 inches in diameter
  • Peanut Dipping Sauce
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp sriracha or chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp warm water
  • ½ lime juiced
  • 1 green onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp crushed peanuts

Instructions

  1. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the lettuce, red bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, basil, and the lime juice.
  2. Carefully mix in the lump Maryland crab meat so as not to break up the crab meat too much.
  3. Fill a pan that is large enough to hold your rice wrappers with warm water. Place the rice wrappers in the pan one at a time, soaking each one for 20-30 seconds until soft and pliable.
  4. Take each rice wrapper out of the pan and place it on a clean tea towel. Place 1/14th of the crab mixture onto one end of the rice wrapper and roll it up; roll it by folding the sides of the rice wrapper in, folding the end of the wrapper over the crab salad mixture, and then rolling it up tightly. Repeat this with the other 13 wrappers. If you don’t think you will have enough filling for the salad rolls, you can always use fewer wrappers.
  5. For the peanut sauce, whisk together all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl. If your dipping sauce seems too thick, you can add a bit more water to smooth it out a bit. Serve it in one dish or if you have people over, you can serve the peanut sauce in separate little dishes for dipping.
  6. These crab salad rolls make a great appetizer or a light lunch or supper. They are nutritious, easy and delicious and we hope you will give them a try.
