Gulf of St.Lawrence Snow Crab Tacos
Pair with Manzanilla
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
450 g
snow crab
15 ml
unsalted butter
1 pinch
Gorria pepper (Espelette style)
1 pinch
salt
1
garlic clove, minced
1
shallot, minced
2 tazas
fresh corn kernels
1
lime
8
corn tortillas
1
avocado, pitted and sliced
cilantro
15 ml
honey
Directions
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.

Pairing Manzanilla with food
Manzanilla combines perfectly with fish and seafood, as well as with salted fish and cured meats.
Thanks to its low acidity, it is, together with Fino, the perfect choice to accompany salads, cold soups and dressings.
