👨‍🍳 Instructions

Wash crabs and separate claws from body.

Crack the shell and cut the body into 4 to 6 pieces.

In a large bowl, mix together ketchup, water, cornstarch, and soy sauce.

Heat skillet and the oil, stir in garlic and shallots.

Fry the garlic and shallots for 1 to 2 minutes before adding the chili.

Add crab pieces and fry until they turn red, about 4 minutes.

Stir sauce mixture into the skillet until the crabs are well coated.

Cover the skillet and let simmer on high heat, for 7 minutes or until the shells turn bright red.

Remove cover and stir in the lime juice.

Stir in beaten egg until it is fully cooked.
