Crab and Corn Tamale



Whether in a chowder or a croquette, crab and corn are such a happy couple.  They pull out all sorts of sweetness in eachother while corn adds crunch to succulent crab, oh my.  So why not in a tamale?

Simply prepare the masa exactly as described in the post titled "tamales."  Then fold in 2/3 cup cooked corn kernels.  Assemble tamales as described with the following crab filling.

6 oz lump crab meat
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
1 teaspoon finely chopped chives
salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients.

Steam tamales for 30-45 minutes until done.  Enjoy.
