Tips
- You can either buy the crab claws raw and gently poach in salted water for four to five minutes and crack them, or there are great options for pre-cooked and shelled ones. ‘Crabster seafood’ or ‘Lambay crab n Lobster’ are particularly great.
- A little tip if using whole crab claws in the shell is to tap them with a spoon, holding the spoon at the very top of the handle. This will give a short sharp crack of the shell without crushing the crab inside.
