طريقة التحضير

Clean the mangrove crab, remove the gills and rinse thoroughly; set aside.
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat, then sauté the onion, garlic, and bell pepper until softened.
Add the chopped tomatoes, thyme, bay leaf, and whole Scotch bonnet pepper; cook for 2 minutes to release flavors.
Stir in the crab pieces, coat with the aromatics, then pour in the water and bring to a gentle boil.
Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15‑20 minutes until the crab is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
Season with salt, black pepper, and lime juice; remove the bay leaf and Scotch bonnet pepper.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with rice or crusty bread.
