Marinated Crab Claws

These must be prepared no earlier than one day in advance and no later than six hours before the party. That’s an 18 hour window for those who don’t want to do the math.

1 /4 cup White balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp Lemon juice
1 /2 cup Green onions, chopped
2 Tbsp Red onion, minced
2 Tbsp Celery, chopped fine
2 Tbsp Fresh chives, chopped
1 Tbsp Parsley, chopped
1 tsp Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 /2 tsp Dry oregano
1/4 cup Pickled okra, chopped
1 Tbsp Jalapeno, minced
1 tsp Salt
1 /2 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground

1 pound Blue crab claws

Instructions

In a large, glass bowl, combine all ingredients except claws. Whisk to mix well. Add crab claws and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least six hours or overnight.
