Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Lump crab meat
- 2 large Celery stalks
- 2 medium Scallions
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 4 tbsp Coconut cream
- 1 tbsp Fresh dill
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Sea salt
- 8 large Butter lettuce leaves
Instructions
Begin by thoroughly rinsing the lump crab meat under cold water and then pat it dry using paper towels.
Finely chop the celery stalks and scallions, and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add the lump crab meat to the mixing bowl with the celery and scallions.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, and coconut cream until smooth and creamy.
Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the dressing mixture, followed by the garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt. Stir until well-combined.
Pour the dressing over the crab, celery, and scallion mixture, and gently fold everything together using a spatula to ensure even coating without breaking up the crab meat too much.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lemon juice, salt, or pepper according to preference.
Prepare the butter lettuce leaves by washing them gently and patting them dry with a paper towel.
Spoon a generous amount of the crab mix into each lettuce leaf, folding the leaf around the filling to create a roll.
Arrange the stuffed lettuce leaves on a serving platter and chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before serving to enhance flavors.
Serve the Paleo Classic Crab Rolls immediately as a refreshing appetizer or light meal.
