Singapore Crab-tastic in my belly #cassieskitchen

From talking about going to Billingsgate markets at 4am for the past month, Stu an I decided to make the trip when we woke up at 8am on Saturday, after a quick brush of the teeth, some doubt about our timing and a ribbon added to the hair (I thought It may have "looked" like I did my hair), we were on our way!  Unless you're not aware, the market shuts at 9:30am and most the stalls are already empty and cleaned by 9am.. we got there at 9:20am. 

With 4 stores open and what looked like a successful day for the fishmongers  (due to the immensely large styrofoam castle we walked through) we went on the hunt for some squid tubes, so we could get our Salt-N-Pepa on.  After some distraction of pretending to be a giant fish and spotting some baby shark, we were completely engrossed in our adventure we forgot what we went there for, and managed to buy a kilo of fresh prawns and 4 blue swimmer crabs! 
Distracted again once the seafood was in the fridge, It was time to assess the day and go out and play "shopping" at +Westfield and postpone the crab cooking till Sunday. 

I have never cooked any sort of shellfish before, so a quick google and an assessment  of my cupboard told me that I had found the correct recipe. A few minor adjustments, using what I had, I managed to whip up this delightful and delicious dish.

Way better than a Sunday roast :)
