Best Lump Crab Recipe: I am doing a Chef’s Table ChillaxBBQ thing in a week – literally cooking around someone’s house. I’d ordered some Australian Lump Crab from my BFF Shaun at Butcher Box to get my creative juices flowing and I created a dish that I had never done before. Now under pressure, I thought the best thing to do today was to crack on and have a bloody good practice run. Working from the home of course I forced a lunch break on myself to get creative. Cooking only for Wifey & #1 today, but I prepared enough for the four PAX I am cooking for next week.
For my guest next weekend I am cooking 4 courses for four. This is one wee starter course before the main event starts. I am really happy with the outcome, like really happy. Who’d have thought it? Looks pretty so the eyes have it first. You can’t beat a Citrus Burnt Butter sauce in my reckoning with shellfish and this smelt incredible with that citrus mayo too. Then to the taste and texture. I got a big thumbs-up from both today. #1 said: “I can confirm it’s bloody delicious!!!” I’ll take that.
So this officially stays as one of the four courses for next week.

I even had my tweezers out today plonking edible flowers on top and all that haha… Poncey!!!
So, no recipe today just a little review as I don’t want to spoil for the client if he/she happens to look at this. But for a clue, you have Australian Lump Crab sauteed in Olive oil, mixed in with scrambled eggs & parsley, and drizzled with citrus burnt butter sauce. Stacked and served with lime & pepper mayo, fish roe, and beetroot chips…
First time really going for fancy plating and all that so very happy with this 1st attempt. ChillaxBBQ can indeed do fine-dining and plating not just platters. And this can all be cooked on the BBQ too. Rock ‘n’ Roll. Wifey & #1 are also very happy with lunch today which also makes me very happy. Best Lump Crab Recipe With Egg & Citrus Burnt Butter – ENJOY!!!
What is Lump Crab
Lump crab is one of the most prized forms of crab meat and is made up of large, tender pieces taken primarily from the body of the crab, prized for their sweet flavour, delicate texture, and beautiful appearance. Unlike shredded or claw meat, lump crab consists of impressive chunks that hold together well, making it the premium choice for dishes where you want the crab to be the star of the show. Popular in American, Asian, and seafood-focused cuisines, lump crab is often used in crab cakes, pasta, salads, seafood bisques, omelettes, and luxurious appetisers. Its naturally sweet flavour means it needs very little embellishment, allowing the freshness of the crab to shine through in every bite.
Chef Kenno absolutely loves working with lump crab because it instantly elevates any dish from everyday eating to special-occasion dining. One of the best lump crab recipes has to be a classic Lump Crab Cake, where the sweet crab meat is gently mixed with breadcrumbs, herbs, lemon, and a touch of seasoning before being lightly pan-fried until golden and crispy. The secret is restraint—use just enough ingredients to hold everything together while letting those beautiful lumps of crab remain front and centre. Served with a zingy lemon aioli, fresh salad, or even tucked into a brioche bun, a great lump crab cake showcases everything that makes this premium seafood ingredient so special: sweet, succulent, delicate, and utterly delicious. 🦀🍋🔥😋
