Serves: 24
 
Ingredients
  • 1 ear fresh corn, shucked
  • 1 (8-ounce) container jumbo lump crabmeat, picked free of shell
  • 1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • ½ tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 24 cherry or grape tomatoes
  • Garnish: fresh chives
Instructions
  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add corn and boil until cooked, approximately 5 minutes. Remove corn from pot and let cool completely. Using a sharp knife, cut corn kernels from cob.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently stir together corn kernels, crab, lemon juice, vinegar, chives, and Cajun seasoning. Cover and refrigerate to let flavors meld, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
  3. Using a small, sharp, serrated knife, cut of top third of each tomato. Using a small melon baller or strawberry huller, remove seeds from tomatoes to make cups. Trim a thin slice from bottom of each tomato cup to make them stand evenly.
  4. Divide crab mixture among tomato cups.
  5. Garnish with chives, if desired. Serve immediately.
