Crab Casserole in Coconut Milk

Thailand with all her plentiful rivers and lakes, enjoys a bountiful supply of crab and other seafood. Bountiful implies relatively inexpensive and therefore popular, and such is the case. Imaginative Thai cooks have learned many ways to bring out the best of the crab’s succulent and delicate sweet meat, paying special attention to the rich orange roe. The coconut milk is but one of the bracing seasonings in this recipe that so enhance the virtues of the crab. This is a splendid main dish.<
