Crab Cocktail
Our light and refreshing Dungeness crab cocktail with homemade cocktail sauce is a GREAT way to kick off any meal!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
COCKTAIL SAUCE:
- 1 c. ketchup
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice
- 1 tsp. horseradish
SALAD:
- 3 c. fresh Dungeness or King crab meat
- Lettuce or spinach leaves
- 1 1/2 c. green bell pepper finely chopped
- 1 1/2 celery finely chopped
Instructions
- COCKTAIL SAUCE: In a non-reactive mixing bowl, whisk together all ingredients until well combined. Cover and chill for at least an hour.
- SALAD: To assemble the crab cocktail, line the serving dish with the lettuce or spinach leaves. Gently stir the crab meat, green pepper, and celery together, so that the large lumps of crab meat are not broken. Heap the crab meat mixture on the greens. Spoon the cocktail sauce over the salad. Serve chilled
Classic Olde way to serve Crab Cocktail. Never goes out of style.
Can I use regular seafood sauce?
Hi David, you can use your favorite store-bought cocktail sauce in place of our homemade sauce if you like.
Question: DO you use lump crab meat right out of the can. This is a non cooked crab meat cocktail??? Also can you prepare ahead of time and keep in fridge for about 30 minutes prior to serving???
Hi Roberta, I used fresh caught and cooked Dungeness crab. The crab meat is cooked. Yes, the crab cocktail can be prepared 30 minutes prior to serving. Enjoy!
I love fresh Dungeness crab cocktails! I add a little Old Bay into the mix for added flavor!
