Method

  1. 1 Boil the crab for 10 minutes, then remove the meat and keep the entire, cleaned shell to use as a baking tray.
  2. 2 Sauté the onions and deseeded tomatoes for 8 minutes until the mixture is dry.
  3. 3 Mix the crab meat with olives, capers, chopped jalapeño, and cilantro, then squeeze in some lemon juice.
  4. 4 Do not grind the crab meat; keep the meat fibers intact so that each piece still clearly shows the crab strands.
  5. 5 Stuff the filling into the shell, then sprinkle with toasted breadcrumbs and drizzle with olive oil.
  6. 6 Bake at 210 degrees for 15 minutes, or until the crumbly surface is golden brown and crispy.

With an appliance

    Replace step 6: steam in a hot air pot at 190 degrees for 10 minutes; spray oil onto the crumbs for an even golden coating.
