One of my favourites is chilli mud crab. I don't know whether you can get them over there but lobster or any crab could be used as a substitute for mud crab.

Serving size: Serves 2
Cooking time: Less than 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 mud crab, cut into sections
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon ginger, julienned
2 red chillies, chopped
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons chilli sauce
¾ cup water or chicken stock
shallots, for garnish
coriander sprigs, for garnish.

METHOD

Cut crab and crack shell.

Heat wok and add oil.

Add garlic, ginger and chilli. Be careful not to burn ingredients.

Add crab, one section at a time.

Add fish sauce and let steam. Add lime juice.

Add a splash of sweet chilli sauce and some water/chicken stock.

Cover with lid and cook for 10-12 minutes.

Add shallots and coriander.

Enjoy with a crisp Chardonnay or an icy cold beer.
