Spring Crab Salad Roll Recipes

Steps:

• Shred crabmeat using 2 forks or in a food processor.
• Mix crabmeat, mayonnaise, and sriracha sauce together in a small bowl.
• Fill a shallow bowl with hot water to a depth of 2 inches. Dip 1 rice paper wrapper in the water for a few seconds to soften; set on a wooden cutting board or a clean, moist dish towel. Layer 1/4 of the cucumber, carrot, avocado, crabmeat mixture, and green onion in the bottom third of the rice paper.
• Pull bottom of the rice paper over the filling, using your fingers to prevent it from spilling out the sides. Fold opposing edges of the rice paper to overlap the filling; roll up tightly towards the top. Place roll seam-side down on a plate. Repeat with remaining rice papers and cucumber, carrot, avocado, crabmeat mixture, and green onion.

Steps:

• Mix the mayonnaise with the celery.
• Gently stir in crabmeat, but try not to break it up.
• Heat a large skillet, and add butter to taste.
• Brown both sides of the buns. (If using bread, brown only one side of each slice.).
• Remove the buns from the skillet and layer on a leaf or two of lettuce.
• Top the lettuce with the crab salad.
• Season with freshly ground pepper if desired.

Steps:

• Clean and pick through the crabmeat. Place in a bowl and put the bowl into an ice bath to keep cold. Combine all the remaining ingredients. Slowly fold in the crabmeat, Season with salt and pepper.
• Peel the plantain and slice, very thin, on a slicing machine or mandolin. Fry in hot oil and remove. Slice the cucumber the lengthwise, on a mandoline or slicing machine.
• Place the cucumber slices down 1 at a time and place a 1 tablespoon of crab mixture on 1 end. Then slowly roll it up and stand it up on its end.
• Garnish with crumbled pieces of fried plantains and chervil.

Steps:

• For the boiled shrimp: Add the shrimp shells, seafood seasoning, parsley, peppercorns, celery, lemon and onion to a large stock pot and fill three-quarters of the way with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the vegetables soften slightly, 5 to 10 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Add the shrimp to the stock pot and boil, stirring constantly, until pink and opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the shrimp and add to the ice bath until completely cooled.
• For the salad rolls: In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, parsley, seafood seasoning, pimentos, celery and onion. Fold in the shrimp and crab meat. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days.
• When ready to serve, fill the buns with the seafood mixture and serve with a lemon wedge and some clarified butter.

Steps:

• Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl, and stir well.
• Add chopped cooked shrimp and lump crabmeat, stirring to combine.
• Line each hoagie roll with 1 lettuce leaf.
• Place 2/3 cup shrimp mixture in each bun.
