Jazzed Up Crab

Cajun French:   la crabe (la krab) – crab

 

Des Allemandes Outlaw Katfish Kompany sells stuffed crabs, along with live crabs, soft shell crabs, and catfish, at the Red Stick Farmers Market.  We enjoy making crab cakes yet when the Outlaw Katfish Kompany’s stuffed crabs are available we opt for them.  Each stuffed crab is loaded with crab, seasoning and just the right amount of bread.   We headed home with our usual four stuffed crabs and decided to jazz them up.

Mais C’est Bon!

Enjoy!!
