Courtesy of Central Market in Houston. They had just freshly made it in the store. I haven't made this yet, but with the holidays coming up (Yikes!), this sounded like something nice to serve at a gathering.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb fresh cooked crabmeat, picked clean of the shell
2 avocados, diced
1 roasted poblano pepper, chopped
1 roasted red pepper, chopped
3 scallions, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 bunch fresh cilantro, sprigged and chopped
1 lime, juice of
salt
cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl, taking care not to break up the crab meat too much. Refrigerate until serving time.
  • If you wanted to make this easier, you could use canned crab meat, roasted red bell pepper from a jar, etc.
  • I usually remove the seeds from any hot pepper I'm using, as that is where the heat really lies, and I don't want it too hot for my kiddos.
  • Cook time is chill time. I had to estimate on prep time because it depends on if you roast your own peppers or not.
