- Heat the oil in a large sauté pan, sauté the garlic until golden; drain and set aside.
- Sauté the shallots in the oil for a few minutes until transparent then add the rice and sauté the raw grains for 2 minutes as you would with a risotto, add the water, chives, chillies, bay leaf, thyme, salt and pepper and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to minimum, cover the sauté pan and cook for 15 minutes.
- Next Add the crab in large pieces with the parsley and lime juice; cover and cook for 5 minutes longer over low heat or until the water has been completely absorbed and the crab heated through.
- Taste for seasoning, then toss the rice over to fluff it. Serve.
