Txangurro a la donostiarra

Txangurro a la donostiarra is a crab preparation associated with San Sebastián, or Donostia. A cooked spider crab is opened and its meat removed. The meat is combined with softened vegetables, returned to the cleaned shell and finished in the oven. Onion, carrot, leek and tomato can form the vegetable base, with breadcrumbs on top for browning.^[1][2]

Seasonings can include whisky, brandy or sherry. One preparation uses whisky and a little seafood-based salsa americana; another seasons the crab with brandy or sherry. The seasoned meat is returned to the shell for baking and serving.^[1][2]
