    Nauru Crabs in Coconut Milk

    Nauru crabs in coconut milk is a cinch to make.

    Crabs are abundant in the tiny island nation of Nauru as are coconuts.   You can use any type of crab or claws for this recipe.

    I used just crab claws for an appetizer and they were served with two easy-peasy dips.  One with  melted butter and garlic and the other made of mayonnaise and Sirachi.  I loved them both.

    Crabs always seem so decadent and we absolutely loved these as our starter for our Nauru feast.

    You can make your own coconut milk by adding some water to freshly grated coconut and then squeezing the coconut through a fine mesh sieve.

    Alternatively you can use a can of coconut milk.

    Either way this is a lovely appetizer for any occasion.
