How to Make Crab Spaghetti
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chilies, ginger, garlic, and shallots. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened but not browned.
- While the aromatics cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package directions until al dente.
- Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining. Return the drained pasta to the warm pot.
- Stir the crab meat into the sautéed aromatics in the frying pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until heated through.
- Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the crab mixture. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Stir in the parsley and lime juice. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss everything together until well combined. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious crab spaghetti!
