Ingredients
- 3 lbs. crab cut in half
- 1 lb. Shrimp cleaned
- 1 Knorr Chicken Cube
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- ¼ cup banana ketchup
- 3 teaspoons cornstarch

- 3 Thai Chili pepper chopped
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 head garlic minced
- 2 thumbs ginger grated
- 2 cups water

Instructions
- Heat oil in a cooking pot. Sauté the onion, garlic, ginger, and Thai chili pepper.
- Once the onion softens, add shrimp. Cook until the color of the shrimp turns orange. Remove the shrimp and place on clean plate. Set the shrimp aside.
- Continue cooking by adding the crab. Cook while stirring occasionally for 3 to 5 minutes. Note: I am using blue crab for this recipe.
- Pour water into the pot and then add Knorr Chicken Cube. Cover the pot and let the liquid boil.
- Add tomato paste and banana ketchup. Stir. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the shrimp back into the pot. Also add some green onions. Cover the pot and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Season with salt and ground black pepper.
- Add the beaten egg. Stir.
- Make a slurry by combining cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water. Pour the mixture into the pan. Stir until the sauce thickens.
- Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve hot. Share and enjoy!
