Cooking time: 1 hour

Here in Quebec snow crab can be cooked in unexpected ways, and to create this recipe I was inspired by my Mexican roots, so I decided to use the main ingredient of Mexico’s gastronomy: corn. Succulent Snow Crab, fresh corn, creamy avocado, and sultry gorria pepper wrapped in a warm corn tortilla creates one of the best bites known to mankind

Ingredients

Instructions

Gulf of St.Lawrence Snow Crab Tacos

In a large sauté pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and shallot and sauté until the shallots are translucent about 3 minutes.

Add corn, snow crab, honey, gorria pepper and salt and sauté until the snow crab is heated through about 5 minutes. Taste and add additional salt, if needed.

Heat tortillas in a skillet or comal until slightly golden.

Once tortillas are warmed, fill each tortilla with snow crab and garnish with a few avocado slices, corn, cilantro, and a drizzle of lime juice. Serve.
