topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchinis, halved lengthwise
  • 220 g lump crab meat, sorted
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Creole mustard
  • 0.5 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Paprika, celery leaves and green onions, for serving

Preparation:

  1. Fill a large saucepan with about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water and place a steamer on top; bring to a boil. Meanwhile, scoop out the seeds from the zucchini, leaving a 1/2-inch (0.5 cm) thick skin. Sprinkle the zucchini with salt, then place in the steamer; cover and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine crab meat, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. In another bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Pat the zucchini dry with a paper towel and brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and lemon juice. Fill the boats with the crab mixture and coat with spicy mayonnaise. Sprinkle with paprika, celery leaves, and green onions.
