Stuffed crab shells

Directions

1. Rinse crabs. Place crabs in steamer basket. Cook on high heat 5 to 8 minutes. Cool crabs slightly. Remove meat from crabs and place in bowl. Reserve crab shell bodies. Mix crab meat with pork, fish sauce, cilantro, garlic, salt, pepper and 1 beaten egg until well blended. Stuff mixture into crab shells.

2. Beat remaining egg in small bowl. With a spoon or small brush, brush egg on top of the crab and pork stuffing. Press into the breadcrumbs.

3. Heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Place the stuffed crabs, breadcrumb side down, into the oil. Fry 3 to 5 minutes or until breadcrumbs are golden brown. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and chile slices, if desired.
