CAMP OVEN COOKING IN AUSTRALIA (COCIA®)

Roz's Yummo Chilli Crab

INGREDIENTS

Two fresh mud crabs.  Crabs must be raw.
Two to three cloves fresh garlic finely chopped
One tablespoon soy sauce
One teaspoon dried chilli flakes per crab.
One tablespoon Trident sweet chilli and ginger sauce per crab
Oil for frying

METHOD

Clean and portion crabs, crack open large claws.  Heat oil in wok or pan and toss in crab pieces along with chilli flakes and garlic.  Stir-fry for about four minutes, do not allow chilli and garlic to burn.  Splash soy sauce over crabs, then add sweet chilli sauce. Stir and cover for an extra three to four minutes. Watch for burning, as there is a high sugar content in the sweet chilli sauce

Quantities can be varied depending on taste. Also must mention fresh water yabbies (redclaw crayfish) would make a good substitute for mud crabs.  If using yabbies I would probably only cook the tails. With a sharp knife, slice open the underside of each tail length ways before cooking

Enjoy with a cold beer
