I love this ultra fresh starter! These crab in a pear are light but can still fill up your belly fast. If you are good eaters or planning a good amount of time between services, serve two halves per person.

Ingredients
- 4 ripe but firm pears
- 1 cup light cream cheese
- 1 cup (227g) crab flesh
- 3/4 cup (230 g) cooked Matane shrimps
- 1/4 cup fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup white wine
- Green salad mix
- Salt and ground pepper
Preparation
- Remove cream cheese from fridge, put in a bowl and let cool down for 15 minutes.
- Cut pears in half lengthwise equally then remove hearts and seeds. With a spoon, slightly dig the inside in order to create a bowl. Finely chop the removed pear flesh and add to the cream cheese, maximum 1/4 cup. Set pears aside.
- In a pan at medium heat, add the crab flesh and cook for about 2-3 minutes until all liquid is gone. Crab in can or frozen tend to be juicy!
- Add the white wine and continue cooking until wine is reduced, about 3-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool down for 10 minutes.
- Add the crab, shrimps and chives with the cream cheese and mix well. Taste and rectify seasoning if necessary.
- Split the mix in the pears and reserve in fridge for 15-20 minutes. Serve on a nice green salad!

We love chenin blanc for it's lovely texture, honey and pear notes and it's fresh acidity. At this price, I would buy more than one before they are all gone!

Berliner Melon Weisse, Dunham
This Berliner Weisse with aromas of lemon and tropical fruits is a real explosion of freshness! It’s acid just enough to let you taste the hint of pear and make room for the delicacy of the lobster. This sour and low alcohol beer will be perfect for a meal under the sun.
