Crab Tower Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dipping Sauces

    In a small bowl, combine the dijonnaise and set aside. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Warm the mixture until heated through, then remove from heat and stir in chopped fresh parsley.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Crab Tower

    Carefully layer the lump crab meat in a large serving dish or tower mold, ensuring that it is packed but not crushed. You can create multiple layers if desired.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Once the crab tower is assembled, serve it immediately with the dijonnaise and warm balsamic butter dipping sauces on the side.
