curry crab

Seasoned shellfish dish

Curry crab is a dish of crab cooked in curry sauce, popular in Caribbean, Southeast Asian, and South Asian cuisines.

The crab is typically left in the shell and simmered in a spiced coconut or tomato-based curry: We ordered curry crab and roti at the Trinidadian restaurant.

The dish is often eaten with the hands, cracking shells to extract the meat.
