Ingredients

Servings

Crab

  • 4 crab legs
  • 1 tabelspoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspon salt
  • 1/2 teaspon black pepper

Creamy Chili Pasta

  • 1 cup Chili oil recipe here
  • 1 pack linguine cooked according to package instructions
  • 2 Tablespoons cream more or less to taste

Notes

  • If you can use fresh crab meat instead of store bought, it would be highly recommended. If you're rushed on time, you can buy cooked crab meat and skip the preparation step of the fish. 
  • We always have a jar of Chili Oil in our pantry. It keeps for months and we use it endlessly! If you have that prepared as well, this recipe only requires 15 minutes!
  • We love a long pasta for this recipe, it gets coated really well with the chili oil and you taste the flavor in every bite.
  • To make this creamy, add 2 -3 tablespoons of cream per bowl of chili crab pasta. The spicy and creamy contrast is AMAZING!
  • You can use sour cream if you're out of heavy cream, but avoid using milk or half n half. 
  • This recipe is great served hot or cold. So feel free to test it both ways and find your favorite. We especially like it without cream when cold--sort of like a salad!
  • Leftovers are great if you're going to have them cold the next day. Otherwise reheat the dish in a microwave safe bowl. 
  • We don't recommend freezing cooked crab, as it changes texture.
