Padang Sauce Shrimp Crab

Padang sauce dishes made from processed seafood are sold out there. But of course they sell them at very high prices, perhaps because the price of crabs is incredibly expensive out there.

This time I want to make Padang sauce using whatever ingredients I have at home. Of course, using mini crabs that I bought at the market and also a combination with shrimp. So, for vegetables I only use corn and chopped spring onions. However, if you want to add other vegetable variants, it all depends on your taste.

So, when cooking Padang sauce, you have to prepare a lot of ingredients. However, I still think that without any flavoring ingredients or anything else, this dish is already very tasty. The tip is to use boiled water from the seafood itself during the cooking process. Because that will make it more delicious, savory and different.

Serve the crab with psdang sauce on a serving plate, then experience the extraordinary taste sensation of this seafood dish. Interestingly, the aroma of seafood and corn is enough to satisfy my appetite. Moreover, the addition of chopped spring onions and eggs makes it thicker and what I like most is that the corn is really delicious when combined with a spicy sauce like this.

The taste sensation, savory, sweet, slightly spicy, is very delicious. Plus the maturity of the seafood itself is so perfect that I can't stop eating this alone. Hahaha don't be afraid I enjoyed it two stages in one pan. Besides, as usual I enjoy it by adding warm white rice. Aahhh the perfect combination of sauces really tastes great!

I have tried prawns some days back from a local restaurant and didn't like the taste.

Well, seafood might vary and this crab dish might be as delicious as it seems.
