Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 [I think this recipe assumes raw crabmeat to start; refer to instructions below about boiling crab meat & alter technique if using pre-cooked crab meat, perhaps by just boiling some ginger and cloves in small amount of water & adding a bit to flavor crab.
Step #2 -- cmt] Put crab meat in boiling salted water along with ginger piece and cloves.
Step #3 Cook about 15 mins, until meat is tender enough to flake with a fork.
Step #4 Drain, flake & set aside.
Step #5 In a heavy pot, tomato paste, ground ginger, cayenne, green pepper, tomatoes, paprika, heat oil to a moderate temperature & add other ingredients in the following sequence, stirring for a min or so between each: onions, & dried shrimp.
Step #6 Reduce heat & let simmer for 4-5 mins, stirring constantly, until vegetables are cooked.
Step #7 Add crab meat & stir another couple of mins to heat it through.
Step #8 Then spoon the mixture into clean crab shells or ramekins (small individual baking dishes).
Step #9 Sprinkle top bread crumbs on top of each crab & toast under an oven broiler, being careful not to let the crumbs scorch.
Step #10 Garnish with egg & parsley.
Step #11 --.
