This is a very straightforward dish. It's sauteed crabs with the addition of crab paste, which gives the dish that distinct crab and very savory taste. Crab paste is preserved crab meat, usually in sold in bottles, and is almost always available at the supermarkets in the Philippines. The dish also calls for the addition of chili paste, but you can always omit it.
Ingredients:
10 medium-sized crabs
2 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp butter
1/2 cup crab paste
1 tbsp chili paste
Procedure:
Saute garlic in butter until lightly browned. Add in the crabs and stir. Add about 1/4 cup water. Cover and let cook for about 5 minutes. Open the lid and add in the crab paste and chili paste. By this time the crabs should have turned into a pinkish, reddish color. Season with salt and pepper as necessary. Stir well and cover again and let the crabs cooks thoroughly for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Enjoy.
