I picked leftover blue crab and have a scant pound of lump meat. Please no crab cakes! Any good recipes?
Saute some finely chopped garlic, a little ginger, at the end, go in with your crab and remove from heat. Add to room temp Cream cheese, with chopped green onion and mix well, season with S+P, and put onto wonton skins, making little dumplings to fry up.
Easy breezy, Crab Rangoon. Serve with Sweet Thai Chili sauce, or/and, some Chinese Mustard Aioli.
Too bad you excluded crab cakes. We've pretty much concluded that's pretty much the way to go for getting the most out of our crab meat.

tat--the crab meat dumplings you describe are beyond my capabilities, but i will be fantasizing about them endlessly...
^^^Reminds me, I haven't made it in years . . .A good basic cheesecake recipe, sans sugar, add salt and pepper, some sweated down peppers, onions, and fresh herbs. .. .do a savory(I like RITZ Butter Crackers) for the crust, and you get a pretty amazing savory cheesecake. Serve with Roasted Red Pepper Coulis.
I used to make one with smoked salmon and red lumpfish caviar. It was a great appetizer. I served it with crackers.
