Crab Cocktail Preparation
Prepare the Truffle-Dijon Aioli
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the truffle oil, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and fresh lemon juice. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
Prepare the Lump Crab
In a separate bowl, gently fold in the lump crab meat. Be careful not to break apart the lumps too much. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Assemble the Cocktail
In a serving dish or individual cocktail glasses, layer the lump crab mixture at the bottom. Drizzle the prepared truffle-Dijon aioli over the crab.
Add the Cocktail Sauce
Spoon the house-made cocktail sauce generously over the top of the crab and aioli mixture.
Garnish
Garnish the dish with fresh lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty flavor.
Serve
Serve immediately while chilled. Enjoy your delicious crab cocktail!
