Method
- For the parmesan crisps, heat the oven to 180°C fan/gas 6. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Create 8 evenly spaced, thin circles of grated cheese. Bake for 4-6 minutes until very light golden brown – keep an eye on them as they can burn easily. Leave to cool on the tray for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer
to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container, layered with baking paper, until ready to serve (see Make Ahead). - For the pots, simply mix together all the ingredients in a medium bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper. Divide among 4 ramekins or small serving bowls, then cover and keep chilled until ready to serve. Remove the crab pots from the fridge 15 minutes before you need them and serve with the crisps alongside.
