Remove the carapace (the shell of the crab)

Cut in half by the center and cut another half. Leaving 2/3 legs on each parts.

Remove the gills (the dirtiest part as it will be muddy)

Cut 1/2 of the leg removing 2 parts of it

Cut away all sharp edges so it is a fuss free meal.

Now, blend in oil some 

Green bird's eye chilli
Shallots

Garlic

Tumeric

And fry till fragrant.

Add in smashed lemongrass and few pieces of lime leaves.

Pour in pieces of flower crab and coconut milk.

For flavor, 2 tsp of salt / Fish stock and 1 tsp of sugar.

Let your crab turn from blue to orangey-red and it's ready to be eaten!
