CRAB ROLLS

These are based off crab rolls I had at Obrycki's in Baltimore. Try to get good quality crab, as it matters. Tinned crab isn't very good here. Once made, the salad will keep a couple days in the fridge.

CRAB ROLLS

Don't let lobster have all the fun! Crab is just as delicious on a buttery toasted bun, especially when amped up with mayonnaise, lemon, Old Bay, and cayenne.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, plus more for serving
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, drained and picked over
6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
6 top-split buns
1 head butter lettuce (such as Boston), leaves separated, for serving
Chopped fresh chives and potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, Old Bay, and cayenne. Gently fold in crabmeat.
  • Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium, about 8 minutes. Generously brush top and sides of buns with butter. Place buns, flat-side down, in skillet and toast, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden on both sides, about 3 minutes. Line inside of buns with 1 to 2 lettuce leaves; divide crabmeat among buns. Drizzle tops with remaining melted butter; sprinkle with chives and more Old Bay. Serve, with lemon wedges and potato chips.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat will give your rolls the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the crab meat. Overcooked crab meat will be tough and chewy. Cook the crab meat just until it is heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is one of the key ingredients in crab rolls, so be sure to use a good quality mayonnaise that you like the taste of.
  • Add some extras to your crab rolls. You can add a variety of extras to your crab rolls to give them more flavor, such as celery, onion, red pepper, or Old Bay seasoning.
  • Serve your crab rolls immediately. Crab rolls are best served immediately after they are made. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

Crab rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make summer seafood dish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make crab rolls that are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a light and refreshing meal, give crab rolls a try. You won't be disappointed!
