Step 1
In a pot, bring 4 cups chicken broth to a boil over high heat. Add 8 oz crab meat and 4 oz shrimp, reduce to medium, and simmer until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
In a small bowl, beat 2 eggs. While the soup is simmering, slowly drizzle the eggs into the pot in a thin stream, stirring gently with a fork to create silky ribbons, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls and top each with 1 cup bean sprouts and 0.25 cup cilantro. Serve with lime wedges if you have them.
