Upgrade your scrambled eggs with this fragrant seafood breakfast recipe from chef David Lovett.

"Last weekend I did an event at the Adelaide central market, we sold just short of half a tonne of blue swimmer crab in a chilli tamarind sauce. I was lucky enough to be sent home with a few crabs for my own personal consumption, and into a simple scramble they went," said David.

🦀🥚 Crab scrambled eggs, coriander, Thai basil and mint

Ingredients:
⚬ 1 blue swimmer crab per person
⚬ 2 eggs
⚬ 60ml cream
⚬ A little butter
⚬ Coriander
⚬ Thai basil
⚬ Mint
⚬ A lime

Method:
• Start by bringing a pot of lightly salted water to the boil and drop in your crab. Boil for 6 minutes, the shell should be bright orange.
• Remove the crab and plunge into ice water to stop the cooking.
• Once cool, remove from the ice water and begin to crack the shell and pick out the white cooked meat. You should get around 80-120g of meat depending on the size of the crab.
• Now heat a pan over a medium high heat and add the butter. Once it's foaming, crack in the eggs and give a quick mix to break them up. Season with salt, pour in the cream and give a quick stir.
• As it begins to set, sprinkle over the crab and give one or two folds and remove from the heat.
• Pop the eggs onto a slice of toast.
• Mix the herbs and squeeze a little lime over them and arrange on top of the eggs.
