Chili Crab is a seafood dish that we enjoy with lots of rice. This dish is composed of crab (Mud Crab is originally used) cooked in sweet and spicy sauce.

We found this to be real good and the three servings of rice can attest to that. Imagine the meaty claws of the alimango topped with sweet and spicy sauce …now that makes us really craving for more.

Reminder this recipe guaranteed to make a mess, so cover your dining table with old newspapers, set out finger bowls, and line up some cold beers.
