My First Attempt in Making Singapore Chili Crab (Lobster)

One of my favorite things to do when travel to new locations is sampling what each state/region/country has to offer and try to replicate it at home. The love of travel also lead to other interests, such as cooking and gardening (to mirror my home like the Versailles or Tuscany ;-). When I was in Singapore in 2007, my friends took me to a local outdoor markets/restaurants. They ordered all kind of food and I loved all of it! One of the dishes that I can't get out of my mind is the famous Singapore Chili Crab!  I'm a big seafood lover and love anything spicy. This dish totally hit the spot.  When I came back to the U.S I went on youtube to look for the recipe, but everything looked so hard to replicate.  My friend in Singapore said don't even both cus it would be easier to send me the premade package.  Here is my attempt to make Chili Lobster (Crab wasn't available that day).

*My husband and I devour this dish in Singapore

*I cleaned the lobster and cut it into small pieces and steamed the lobster until it is semi-cooked

*Set aside the steamed lobstor and us the same pan to sautee the onions and garlic

*At the meantime, prepare the chili sauce

*Add the semi-cooked lobster into the sauce and close the lid so it will shimmer for 5 minutes

*Here's the final product with a nice presentation to serve my hungry tummy. Absolutely delicious!
