Chef Kris Wessel of Florida Cookery in Miami Beach, Florida, shared this recipe as part of a Palm Tree Christmas menu he created exclusively for Epicurious. This dish was the traditional Christmas starter for Wessel's family during holidays spent at his Grandmother Esther's house in Miami Beach. "Some people put out foie gras pâté at Christmas as a starter, but in Miami, people will break out the stone crabs," he says.

Cooks' note:

Turbinado sugar is raw sugar that has been steam-cleaned. The coarse crystals are blond in color, with a delicate molasses flavor. Demerara sugar, light brown sugar, or raw sugar can be substituted.
