×INGREDIENTS
-
0 1/2 cup Real Mayonnaise
-
0 1/2 oz Dill Cucumber Pickles
-
1 tbsp, drained Capers
-
1 small (3" long) Scallions or Spring Onions
-
1 pepper Jalapeno Peppers
-
3 tbsp Basil
-
0 1/2 fl oz Lime Juice
-
1 1/2 lb Asparagus
-
6 tablespoon Olive Oil
-
0 1/4 tsp Salt
-
0 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
-
30 oz Blue Crab
-
4 oz Peppermint (Mint)
DIRECTIONS
- Make tartar sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, diced pickle, capers, chopped scallion, minced jalapeno, chopped basil, lime peel (1 tsp) and lime juice. Cover, and refrigerate.
- Heat oven to 425°F. On a jelly-roll pan, toss asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Spread out asparagus in a single layer, and roast just until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Pat crabs dry, and sprinkle with remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Cook crabs in batches, 3 to 4 minutes per side, until red and cooked through, adding remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet as needed (watch for spattering as the crabs cook). Transfer crabs to a large plate.
- Arrange asparagus on six serving plates, top each with a crab, and sprinkle with the mint. Serve each with 1 tablespoon tartar sauce.
