Hello, how are you all..

Meet me again in today's recipe dynamics, week 50. We have entered week 50 with a variety of selected and special recipes.

For this opportunity, I will share a delicious and unique food recipe again. Why do I say unique? Because this dish is not usually served or made at home. But today I want to share this interesting recipe with you, loyal friends in the Iron Chef Community.

I use several crabs as the main ingredient and my mainstay menu. Combining several aromatic herbs and spices makes this dish rich in flavor and aroma that is full of sensation.

Crab is a seafood food that contains many important nutrients for our health. The main ones are protein and healthy fats that are very good for the body. Besides that, crab also contains quite high cholesterol. So consuming crab should be in reasonable amounts and not excessive.

I also use some aromatic spices to stimulate a sharper aroma in this dish. This allows us to add two-fold appetite to this dish. The use of oyster sauce is also very good for strengthening the taste of the dish.

You don't need to worry about the cost, I only need about $ 4 or the equivalent of 20 Steem to prepare this dish. However, prices may vary depending on the region.

It's time for me to say goodbye, and thank you for stopping by my blog and hopefully it is useful. Thank you 🙏💫
