Ingredients

Ingredients

Portions
  • 4 pcs cleaned crab shells
  • 2 pcs shallots
  • 150 gram butter
  • 1 pcs lemon
  • 1 dl white wine
  • 1 pcs red chili
  • 1 pcs spring onion

  • salt and pepper
Ingredients

You get a juicy delicious hot crab with this sauce and a small peel of au gratin parmesan. Perfect as an appetizer or for a good lunch on the weekend with a glass of good white wine. Buy good fresh crab shells!

Step 1

Start by checking the scale for shells and mix well, and make the crab meat a little more airy so the sauce can flow well afterwards. Find a frying pan and set on medium heat.

Step 2

Finely chop the shallots and put a blob of butter in the pan. Cut the rest of the butter into small cubes and place on a plate in the fridge. To make this sauce, you need butter in cubes that are cold. When the onion has fried in the butter for a few minutes, add the white wine. Let the wine reduce (boil away) until there is almost nothing left.
