Method
Crab Cocktail Preparation
Prepare the Crab
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the Indonesian lump crab meat with lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much; you want to keep it as lump as possible.
Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the crab to chill.
Cocktail Sauce Preparation
Mix the Sauce
In a separate bowl, whisk together the ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and lemon zest until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Chill the Sauce
Cover and refrigerate the cocktail sauce for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors develop.
Serving the Cocktail
Prepare Serving Dish
Remove the crab mixture and cocktail sauce from the refrigerator. Arrange the crab mixture in a serving dish, forming a mound.
Add Cocktail Sauce
Spoon the cocktail sauce generously over the crab mound.
Garnish
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the top. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
Enjoy
Serve immediately and enjoy your Colossal Lump Crab Cocktail with friends or family!
