Preparation
- Step 1
Grate the zest of the limes and set aside.
- Step 2
Into a bowl, squeeze the limes. Beat together the lime juice and the eggs. Cook the eggs in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, whisking all the time, until they thicken into a sauce. Remove from the heat, add the basil, grated lime zest and salt and pepper and keep warm over the hot water.
- Step 3
Grate the ginger. Place the crabs side by side in a steamer, place some grated ginger on top of each crab, and steam, covered for eight minutes. Serve on individual plates. Garnish with parsley and pour some sauce on the side.
