Sauteed Blue Crabs with Wine

This crab recipe is one of the easiest to cook because you only need to stir fry or sauté the crabs with the aromatics, condiments and wine. This is also one of my favorite seafood dishes because of its sweet savory flavor and it also reminds me of my childhood memories. In fact I got this recipe from watching a TV cooking show where the host is a Chinese chef in the 1980’s.

I was also a kid back then and very interested in cooking. But this recipe is not exactly the same recipe back then because I seem to forget the exact amount of ingredients. But the basic aromatics like the garlic, onion and ginger are the ones I can’t forget. This recipe is also good in cooking prawns or large shrimps. And I think the best wine to use is red wine.
