While I was shopping at Sprouts one day with my elder daughter, I saw these gorgeous crab claws on sales for $5.99/lb. The cheapest I have seen for sales was $3.99/lb. But these claws looked big and tempting and it was Chinese New Year. So, I asked my Evy, do you want to eat some crab claws and she said sure. Hence, crab claws it is!
I had Chili Crabs in mind when I bought this and since I wanted a really easy recipe so I looked online and adapted the recipe from Food.com. Of course I made some changes to suit what I had at home and viola, a chili crab claws was created. We had it with bread as the gravy was so great to mix with bread (I was too lazy to drive 25 minutes away to an Asian market to buy mantau/steamed buns and deep-fried it, thus the alternative.). Surprisingly my little Edda who was not so keen about the idea of Chili Crab, enjoyed it a lot. I was quite surprised actually but looking at them enjoying their crab claws really made me happy. They even requested me to buy more crab next time! Hahaha...
I shopped at Sprouts once a week (considered a regular :P ) but never bought crabs claws before. The chili crab claws looks good with the bread-dipping worthy gravy.
