My Sweet Sour Crab

My husband loves seafood very much and so do my children and lucky for us since seafood here is quite cheap. So seafood like fish, prawns and squid is a must in our daily menu. And some other time we'd like to have crab eventhough it's kinda messy when eating crabs. Usually there would be a lot of thumping and cracking at the dinner table. But despite of all the "adventures" and "obstacles" before we could taste the crab meat,we still love crabs. And here is a crab recipe that you can try.....My Sweet Sour Crab.

1kg crab
