WHAT IS CRAB LOUIE?
Otherwise called Crab Louis, a Crab Louie serving of mixed greens is a sort of crab plate of mixed greens going back to the mid 1900s. It's most famous on the U.S. West Coast, and thought to have started in San Francisco.
There are a great deal of varieties of this plate of mixed greens. It's ordinarily made with dungeness crab, yet can likewise be substituted with impersonation crab meat, and is frequently presented with tomatoes and hard bubbled eggs over a bed of lettuce.
I make my own Louie dressing, which possesses a flavor like a spiced-up Thousand Island dressing. It's made with mayonnaise, ketchup (I utilize Heinz's sans sugar ketchup), lemon juice, paprika, and cayenne.
You can without much of a stretch change the dressing to your enjoying. Swap the ketchup for shrimp mixed drink sauce, or include a dash of your most loved hot sauce. Fundamentally, you need a velvety orange sauce that is both zesty and tart.
Try not to need to make your own sauce? Don't worry about it. Simply use locally acquired Thousand Island or Green Goddess dressing.
