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
  • finely grated parmesan
  • 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.

Then turn off the heat on the pan and pull it aside. Whisk in the cubes with butter for several rounds, add butter and when it is gone, add a little more butter. Then you get a smooth and nice sauce.
