Spiced Crab And Shrimp Salad

This is my all time favorite crab salad! I think using quality crab meat (phillips) is the key. This is so addictive, i always double the recipe!!

Bring clam juice to simmer in large skillet over medium heat.

Add shrimp.

Cover and simmer until opaque , turning once , about 2 minutes.

Using slotted spoon , transfer shrimp to cutting board.

Coarsely chop shrimp.

Place shrimp in small bowl.

Boil cooking liquid until reduced to 2 tablespoons , about 2 minutes.

Cool.

Mix onions and next 5 ingredients in large bowl to blend.

Stir in shrimp , cooking liquid and crabmeat.

Season with salt and pepper.

Cover and chill.

Salad can be made 1 day ahead.

I like to serve mine with pita chips , but you can use any kind of crakers or crostinis.
