Crab Salad Lettuce Cups Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk scallions, mayonnaise, chili sauce, lemon juice, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
• Toss crabmeat and 1/2 cup dressing in a medium bowl.
• Divide lettuce leaves among plates (2-3 leaves on each). Divide crab mixture, avocado, and tomatoes among cups. Drizzle dressing over, then top with capers and parsley. Serve with additional dressing alongside.
• Do Ahead
• Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill.

Steps:

• Place crab in a bowl and run fingers through it to check for pieces of shell. Break up crab a bit with finger tips but leave several large pieces. Add chili sauce, lemon zest and juice, parsley, hot sauce and Worcestershire to the bowl and toss to combine.
• In a food processor, process the chopped veggies into small bits by hitting pulse several times. Line a plate with a few sheets of paper towel. Scrape veggies onto towel to remove liquids. Transfer chopped celery, pepper, garlic and onions to the crab. Stir to combine veggies and season the salad with coarse salt and pepper to taste. Place crab salad in a serving bowl and top with crackers. Surround the salad with lettuce "cups". Spoon the salad into the crunchy pieces of iceberg as you eat.

Steps:

• Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, sour cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, half the scallions and a pinch of salt. Taste for seasoning.
• For the crab: Spread the crab out on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the remaining scallions and half the chives. Drizzle with the sauce to taste. Do not mix.
• To plate: Arrange the lettuce leaves as cups in a circle on a large plate. Disperse the tomatoes around the lettuce. Spoon some of the crab into each lettuce cup. Top each cup with an egg quarter and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the remaining chives and a squeeze of lemon. Hold in the refrigerator until ready to serve and enjoy cold.

Steps:

• Combine the mayonnaise, lime juice and curry powder in a bowl. Stir in the crabmeat, cucumber, cilantro and diced chile. Add the scallions, reserving some of the dark green parts for topping. Season with salt.
• Divide among the lettuce cups. Top with the reserved scallion greens and the sliced chile. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Mix the crabmeat with the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt and a good grinding of black pepper. Chill for up to a day.
• To serve, arrange the leaves from the lettuce to form a cup on your board and pile the crab in the centre of the lettuce cup.

Steps:

• Mix together all the ingredients for the Marie Rose sauce and set aside in the fridge. Do the same with the tomato salsa ingredients. These can be chilled for up to 24 hrs.
• Arrange the lettuce leaves, prawns, crab and chives in separate bowls. Put everything on the table with a pile of lemon wedges.
• At the table, add some prawns and crab to the lettuce leaves, spoon over some tomato salsa and Marie Rose sauce, and scatter over a few chives. Squeeze over a little lemon juice, if you like.
