Ingredients
- 500ml hot fish stock

- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tbsp Cook's Ingredients Chopped Ginger
- 2 dressed Cromer crabs, from the fish counter
- 1 red chilli, finely chopped
- Juice and zest of 3 limes
Method
- In a large saucepan, bring the fish stock mixed with 750ml of water to the boil.
- Meanwhile, finely chop the onions and heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large, deep, lidded non-stick frying pan. Add the onion on a low heat (lid on) for 3–4 minutes until soft, stirring occasionally. Add the rice, crushed garlic and ginger and stir for 1 or 2 minutes until fragrant.

Scoop out all of the crab meat from the shell, reserving the nicest pieces to garnish, and stir in the rest with the remaining stock. Cook for a further 8–10 minutes, adding a little boiling water if needed, until the rice is tender.
- Stir in the chilli, lime juice and half the zest. Season to taste and serve garnished with the reserved crab and lime zest.
