Instructions
Step 1
Marinate the crab: Place the crab in a bowl fitting its size. Rub the crab with salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of crawfish and crab seasoning blend. Pour 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar over the crab and let it sit for 15 minutes to marinate.







Step 2

Boil the crab: - In a large pot, add 3 cups of water and 1 cup of Chinkiang vinegar (maintain a 1:3 ratio of vinegar to water). - Add 1/2 cup soy sauce (adjust to maintain a 1:5 ratio with the water and vinegar mix) and 1/2 cup of Old Bay or J.O. crab and crawfish seasoning blend. - Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the marinated crab. - Boil the crab for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked.








Step 3

Cool and shred: Once cooked, remove the crab and let it cool slightly. De-shell the crab and shred the meat into a clean bowl. Set aside.




Step 4

Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a single layer in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.



Step 5

Cool and peel: Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool completely, then peel the eggs.


Step 6

Prepare the filling: Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them in a medium mixing bowl. - Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. - Add mayonnaise, stone ground mustard, honey, chives, rosemary, dill, smoked paprika, and regular paprika. Mix until smooth and well combined. - Fold in the shredded crab meat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.













Step 7

Assemble the deviled eggs: Spoon or pipe the yolk and crab mixture into the egg white halves.

Step 8
Garnish & serve: Optionally, top each egg with a small dollop of caviar and garnish with fresh dill or chopped chives. Arrange the deviled eggs on a platter and serve chilled. Enjoy the rich flavors of crab-infused deviled eggs with the added touch of herbs and spices!
