SOFT-SHELL CRABS WITH CURRY BUTTER
Fans of soft-shell crab look forward to the season - late spring and early summer - with feverish anticipation. The entire delicious crab is edible and may be prepared in many ways; deep-fried, grilled or pan-cooked. Here they are sautéed in a spicy curry butter, which complements the crabs' rich flavor. (The recipe makes more butter than is needed for this dish, but is wonderful to have on hand. Use extra for cooking vegetables or eggs.) Serve 1 large or 2 small soft-shell crabs per person.

Steps:
- Make the curry butter: Put the cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds and cloves in a dry skillet over medium heat. When spices are lightly toasted and fragrant, after a minute or so, grind them to a powder in a mortar or electric spice mill. Add nutmeg, black pepper, cayenne and turmeric.
- Put butter in a bowl. Add spices, garlic, ginger, salt and lime zest and juice. Mash seasonings into butter with a wooden spoon. Add crushed almonds and scallions, then mix until well incorporated. (May be prepared several hours ahead, or up to 1 day in advance.)
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons curry butter, let melt and swirl pan to distribute. Dust crabs lightly with rice flour, if using. When butter is foamy, add crabs in one layer and raise heat. Let crabs cook 3 minutes, then turn, using tongs, and cook 3 minutes on the other side. (Be careful, as crabs may spatter.) Remove crabs and keep warm.
- Add 4 tablespoons curry butter to pan and let sizzle. Add pea shoots and cook briefly until wilted, 1 minute or less.
- Arrange crabs on a warm platter or individual plates. Garnish with wilted pea shoots and lime wedges. Spoon melted curry butter from pan over crabs and serve at once.

CAULIFLOWER WITH CURRY BUTTER
These days, I would like some side dishes that add interest to the otherwise relatively bland (and unrelentingly rich) Thanksgiving table. I want vegetables so flavorful they could nearly double as condiments. So, cut cauliflower into the tiniest florets possible. This takes a little longer, but the results are worth it. You get something delicate, which is not a word usually associated with this vegetable. Cook the florets briefly, then toss them with a little curry-flavored butter, some chives and a squeeze of lime.

Steps:
- With a paring knife, cut the cauliflower into tiny florets, as small as possible. You should have about 8 cups.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Working in batches, cook the florets for 1 to 2 minutes, until just cooked but still firm. Drain well and blot on kitchen towels, then cool.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in the turmeric, cayenne, black pepper, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Put the cooled cauliflower in a large bowl and season lightly with salt. Drizzle the butter over it, toss gently and transfer to an oven-proof serving dish.
- The cauliflower can be kept at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours until serving time, or covered and refrigerated then brought to room temperature. To serve, heat in a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with chives and lime juice.

Steps:
- 1. Make the as directions say on package, or as I prefer, by browning the rice in a skillet with a little olive oil. When rice is slightly brown, turn down the heat to simmer and add enough water to rice to cover. Place laid on skillet and don't stir. Cook about 30 minutes.
- 2. Rice should be fluffy not sticky, when all the water has been cooked out. Add your salt and pepper at this point and set aside.
- 3. Wash the shrimp and put in pan with about two quarts of water. Cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes, then with a ladle with holes in it to drain, spoon out the shrimp. Save the shrimp broth for the sauce. Set aside.
- 4. Add butter to saucepan and melt it on medium heat. Little bit at a time, add flour to the butter and stir with a whisk. It will get thick and that is ok.
- 5. Pour the broth a cup at a time into the buttery mixture. Continue to whisk to smooth out the lumpy butter mixture. Turn heat down to simmer and finish adding the broth, whisking all the time. When the sauce is smooth, add the shrimp and stir it throughly. Add the curry, salt and pepper, stir. Cook about ten minutes more.
- 6. Place shrimp curry in a bowl to set on table. If make earlier in day, place in small crockpot an set on low. In a lazy susan or small bowls add each of the condiments. Put rice in bowl too and set on table. Enjoy!!!
