Sea Island Crab Fried Rice Recipe
This recipe, adapted from cookbook author Sallie Ann Robinson, is a take on crab rice, a popular dish found throughout the Lowcountry and Sea Islands, particularly in Gullah Geechie communities. In Robinson’s version, sweet crabmeat is paired with precooked rice, bacon, and sautéed vegetables to make a delicious dish that is truly more than the sum of its parts. Eat Crab Fried Rice as-is, top it with a fried egg, or serve it as a side along with other seafood dishes.From Gullah Home Cooking the Daufuskie Way: Smokin’ Joe Butter Beans, Ol’ ’Fuskie Fried Crab Rice, Sticky-Bush Blackberry Dumpling, & Other Sea Island Favorites.
