  2.  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. 
  3. Reduce the heat to minimum, cover the sauté pan and cook for 15 minutes. 
  4. 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.
