Reviews
Used shrimp and added water chestnuts and mung beans. Excellent and fast!
This was a BIG HiT at our house last night ! Used 8 pounds of live crabs ans supplimented the recipe with shredded ginger (from a jar) and plenty of chopped garlic (also from a jar) and used a big and deep frying pan for all the cleaned and precut crab parts!!! We will do this one again !! Thanks
Messy to eat, but totally worth it! We made this with friends and small kids and there was not a single leg left!
This is the best dungeness crab recipe ever! My husband and I crave it. I’ve probably made it at least 10 times and we’re never tired of it. And it’s easy as long as you can get whole live crab. We go to the local Asian market being in land-locked Colorado.
The sauce was great, I used shrimp scallops instead of crab and it rocked!
Omg delicious i added prawns at the end to my crab rave reviews at my party love it.
I used shrimp and it was excellent.
This recipe is delicious, so much so we have had it twice in two weeks. I have all the ingredients on hand, so I just have to buy two dungeness crabs at the market and whip this up in a few short minutes. For two crabs, I only use 2 T hoisin, 2 T black bean garlic, 3/4 T sriracha, and 1 1/2 T white wine and it comes out perfect.
Vince, we don’t care to hear about your excapades with Thailand prostitutes, nor do we think you’re funny. If you’re not herer to rate the recipe, don’t bother.
The first time I made this recipe it was a hit. Everyone in my family loved. It goes very well with white rice…it just makes you want to have some more. I now have made this dish several times because it’s easy, quick and delicious. I even showed my sister how to make it. And now even my aunt is asking for this recipe. I also tried making this with shrimp. Thanks Guy!!!
this is a great dish, we make it every year during the holidays
