Ingredients:

• 4 sea oxen
• ½ onion
• 1 Carrot
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 leek
• 50 ml of white wine
• Hot sauce
• Bread crumbs

Preparation:

Pour plenty of water into a saucepan and add 70 grams of salt per liter of water. Bring to a boil and add the crabs to the water. Once it comes to a boil, count the time based on the weight of the shellfish:

• 0,500 kg. at 0,800 kg: 17 minutes
• 0,850 kg. at 1,200 kg: 20 minutes
• 1,250 kg. at 1,600 kg: 25 minutes
• 1,700 kg. at 2,500 kg: 30 minutes

Clean and crumble the claws and the meat of the shell, clean it well.

Sauté the minced garlic, add the finely chopped onion, leek and carrot. Once the vegetables are tender, add the white wine and let it evaporate. Add the crumbled beef. Mix, season and add a little hot sauce.

Fill the shells with this mixture, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and grill under the grill at 250ºC for a few minutes until golden brown.
