1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 to 2 teaspoons sambal oelek or Sriracha sauce
1/2 pound shelled cooked crabmeat, cut into 1-inch pieces (from about 1 1/4 pound thawed frozen king crab legs)

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very flavorful. I'll try it again with a lighter sauce next time.
