Roasted Garlic Crabs and garlic fried rice. Tastier than the crabs in Than Long. So easy to make!

so we're new in the bay area and we've heard people rave about the roasted crabs in fan long it is a vietnamese seafood restaurant in san francisco so when my friend mark from new mexico came to visit we took her there and much as we enjoyed the experience and the food there was some hassle like parking was difficult it took us 20 minutes to find a parking in san francisco and it is just too pricey one crab cost more than 70 and of course that comes with the ambiance and the service but honestly there wasn't really much of an ambiance so this is my version of the roasted crabs like the one in tan long which my husband said tastes much better and is much much cheaper this dish with three roasted crabs cost 72 compared to the over 70 dollars for just one crab in tan long i'm not a professional chef i'm just a regular person who's having fun cooking that my family will enjoy and i hope my friends will enjoy too so i made this dish when our dear tita vicky and tito efren from fresno came to visit us this week as part of the week-long celebration of pito efrain's birthday poland and crab city to a friend so tita vicky lovingly did it for him they're so sweet so come on join me as i cook this it is so easy you can do it too if you end up buying live grabs you need to steam them take the shell off and save the shell scrape the fat from the shell and the body and save the fat because you will need that for later and then remove the gills and the flaps it would have been easier if i used pre-cooked dungeness crabs but they were not available after cleaning them you cut them in half or in quarters if you have bigger crabs so you'll end up with serving size pieces so we'll be using half a head of garlic that i already minced and a stick of butter for three dungeness crabs okay so now we add one stick of butter [Music] now that the butter has melted we add our minced garlic and then we fry them for about a minute we don't really want them to brown then we add a tablespoon of chicken powder and one teaspoon of sugar then we add some pepper and just mix it now you lower the heat because you don't want the garlic to be brown and get half of this butter garlic mixture and save it for later we add the crabs [Music] then we try to mix it as much as we can [Music] what we're trying to do is to get all that garlic butter sauce the crab snack [Music] now that we're done we're gonna transfer this to a baking dish or to uh skillet and then we're going to put it in the oven before we put them in the oven crushed garlic garlic you don't have to be proper with your garlic pasta so now we're getting ready to put this in the oven and we would cover it with foil you transfer it to a baking dish to a foil pan or to a skillet and now we put that in the oven for 25 minutes at 350 degrees fahrenheit so now we're done baking now we're going to transfer it to a serving dish to make our fried rice [Music] so remember the garlic butter sauce that we saved earlier we're gonna pour that over our crabs before serving it [Music] so when you plate them you can either serve them cut up on a serving dish or to make it look more impressive put two halves together put the shell over them to make it look like a crab again whatever works for you not in lulu adding fried rice but this time like twists we'll put about three tablespoons of that so we fry it for a little bit then we're gonna add one fourth slice of lemon taste no parmesan [Music] and now we add the rice [Music] i think this is good i didn't season this anymore nothing garlic butter sauce una glass and it's all now you have a bowl of fried rice with crab fat that will go with your roasted garlic crabs very delicious um dinner very very different thank you and made with love if you want to watch more please click here or somewhere to see my latest video i also talk about personal finance saving money saving time and if you vibe with those topics please like the video consider subscribing it's all in good fun and hope you get some value out of it thank you so much for watching i will see you in my next video peace [Music] you
