A mere assembly job, this one, which will begin with emptying the crab out of its shell into a bowl, then adding a seasoning of salt and freshly milled pepper followed by the juice and grated zest of half the lime and approximately 1 tablespoon of coriander leaves, chopped.

Next you need another bowl and in that combine the mayonnaise and chili and garlic sauce by whisking them together along with all but a teaspoon of the juice of the other half of the lime. Do a bit of tasting here and add more chili sauce if you like it hotter.

Next divide the salad between the serving plates and place half the guacamole in the center of each pile of salad leaves. Divide the crab between the two servings, arranging it on top of the guacamole. After that drizzle the chili mayo over each crab and salad and sprinkle the rest of the coriander leaves and a little cayenne on top.

And that's all there is to it, apart from some good bread, good butter and some very cold white wine.
