Which spices and deep fry with breading or just flour?

I was planning on just saut�ing with lots of garlic, ginger and onion. Thought about asking for other options

Prefer the flour comes out tastier imo. As for spices depends on your taste buds which spices appeal to u.
Its a quick method, tho there better methods which take more time

I dice an entire head of garlic.
Then I simmer it a bit in a couple teaspoons water (I avoid all
oils.)
I add the peeled, de-tailed prawns, cover, and simmer (so low you
see no activity) maybe 30 minutes.

The infused prawns are delicious :-)

We always cook our caught crab at the beach, in Bay water, take butter, boil 15 minutes over the fire.

Crab has a slightly sweet taste so I think you could serve it
with anything that does not compete sweet-wise...the beans sound
excellent.

We crab a block away so it would be sacrilegious to do anything
save boil it fresh.
Crab can release toxins (deadly) if not boiled fresh.

Crab
Ginger (chopped/bashed with cleaver)
Spring Onions (scallions) cut into eg 1 inch pieces
Egg (beaten)
Seasoning (salt) to taste

Prepare crab, ie 2 shell halves, and body into 4 quarters with legs etc.
Bash the ginger or cut into small slices.
Oil in pan
Fry Ginger, spring onions
Throw in crab pieces and fry
Dash of water/stock, simmer for couple of minutes
Add beaten egg and stir until egg cooks.

The beaten egg should "congeal" and "solidify" all those lovely juices from the crab

Serve with rice.

Easy peasy and totally delicious ... :smile:

When preparing the crab, don't forget to remove those nasty bits ... the dead man's fingers ... the grey gill bits ... :smile:
