Tips:

  • Choose the right crab. For this recipe, blue crab or Dungeness crab are good choices.
  • Clean the crab properly. Make sure to remove the gills, intestines, and mouthparts.
  • Use a heavy pot. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the curry from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. The crab should be in a single layer so that it cooks evenly.
  • Cook the crab until it is opaque and tender. This will take about 10 minutes.
  • Add the coconut milk and chili peppers. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the curry with rice or your favorite side dish.
