Time 20m

Yield Twelve servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound lump crab meat, picked over for shells
2 cups cooked Basmati rice, cold
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste

About 2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, gently combine the crab meat, rice, jalapenos, lemon zest, basil and mint.
