Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a blender, combine the tomatoes and jalapeno and puree until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve; discard the solids. Stir in the sesame oil and 4 tablespoons of the lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.

  2. Step 2

    In a medium bowl, toss together the remaining 3 tablespoons lime juice, the crab and the cilantro and season with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture into 12 small balls.

  3. Step 3

    Line up 12 chilled 5-ounce juice glasses. Pour ¼ cup of the tomato liquid into each glass. Using tongs, gently drop a crab ball into each glass, hang a lime wedge over each rim and serve.
