CREAMY CRAB PASTA with UNI and SHRIMP — why not uni pasta straight? Cos I can’t bring myself to cook any of my favourite uni!!!
So I received quite a number of queries about first the UNI (this one is oh so delicious super sweet and creamy one bite size plus one piece instantly elevates the whole dining experience but friends who asked I gotta say sorry next time I buy I try to buy more k 😅) and second the RECIPE so here it is ~~
I used brown crab it’s huge with lotsa lotsa roe and meat perfect for making pasta.
1. Steam the crab, separate roe and meat, press the roe into powder form and tear the meat (aiya I forgot to sprinkle some remaining on top of my pasta as finishing touch I Gan Cheong)
2. Hot your pan with olive oil stir fry some chopped garlic and spring onions
3. Pour the roe into the pan, cook for a while then pour the crab meat in, can add some white wine, add the remaining of the steam crab juice into the mix, and finally add cooking cream. If you like it wet you can add some pasta water but I prefer it dry. Add basil leaf to balance up the creamy flavour. I didn’t have so I added some fennel some Italian herbs and some lemon zest into the mix, then flavour accordingly. I think u can cut some dried chilli into it also, just a touch so it doesn’t change the flavour just to balance it up.
4. The shrimp honestly I added just because I wanted to eat and seafood family can gel. Just pan fry with butter and it alr taste amazing, sprinkle some salt and pepper while drying will do. Uni no need do anything la it is heaven.
5. Sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top but not too much cos the dish is alr creamy to begin with.
Plating u do whatever u like la if u have some greens like parsley to dress it up it’ll look nicer lor. But I was hungry so that’s all haha.
Simple dish that impresses easily, have fun cooking!
