Crab Stacks are layers of seasonal yumminess topped with a bright, flavorful kiwi mix. You’re gonna want to make these for parties, cookouts, birthdays and Wednesday nights for no reason.
Look what I made for you today.
Isn’t she pretty?
I have always loved getting crabs.
No, not those crabs.
Y’all get your minds out of the gutter.
Especially when I was younger, I loved going to seafood restaurants at the beach (Florida) and getting crab legs, crab claws, crab anything. There’s something about the anticipation that builds while you beat the hell out of their shells to get about 1/10th of an ounce of succulent crab meat, then dunk it in warm melted butter.
Then you do it again. And again. Until you’re…not full.
But that’s what hushpuppies, french fries and coleslaw are for, right?
Oh, and cheesesticks.
And sushi.
Ok, anyway, one of the first things my husband told me when we were dating was, as much as he loves good food he refuses to “wrestle” it.
That translates into no wings, no fried chicken, no shrimp-still-in-the-shell, and of course, no crab legs.
Damnit…why doesn’t he like fun food? I would wrestle food all day long and take pictures of it.
And, yes, most of the time I peel his shrimp for him. So spoiled.
These are baby crab cakes on slider buns topped with guacamole and kiwi salsa.
You’re welcome.
Here’s your recipe –
You will not have to wrestle these; I promise.
