Txangurro a la donostiarra

Spain · Europe

Short description: This seafood preparation turns crab meat into a savory filling and serves it in the shell.
Ingredients: Spider crab, onion, tomato, garlic, optional leek, brandy or white wine, breadcrumbs, olive oil, and parsley.
Cultural note: It is associated with coastal restaurant cooking, where the shell becomes both serving dish and signal of the ingredient.
Common misconception: It is not plain boiled crab; the meat is removed, seasoned, and baked before serving.
