Crab Claws Geautreaux

Ingredients

2 Tbs olive oil

1 1/2 Tbs garlic, minced

1 tsp kosher salt

1/4 cup white wine

1/2  cup chicken broth

1 cup Wishbone Italian Dressing

2 lb. fresh blue-crab fingers

1 tsp Creole Seasoning

1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper

¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

2 Tbs fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Place the olive oil in a very large, heavy duty sauté pan over low-medium heat. Place the garlic and salt in the heated oil and cook for 2-3 minutes, stir constantly to prevent burning. Add the white wine, chicken broth and Italian dressing and bring it to a simmer. Add in the crab claws and cook for 4-5 more minutes, just until the crab is hot. Add in the butter and parsley and gently stir until the butter is completely incorporated. Serve immediately.

Yield: 8-10 servings

My problem is that I never found a good-tasting pancake until I happened across sweet potato pancakes at one of the pancake houses. We serve a version of this recipe at The Midtowner. The Cinnamon Cream Syrup is a must.

Over the years I have taken a few stabs at recreating a Harbor Dock’s version, but always come up short. After several failed attempts, and facing a cookbook deadline, I finally worked up a recipe for smoked crab dip, which is excellent, though my wife still prefers Harbor Docks smoked tuna dip.
