In a medium bowl, combine crab, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice. Toss gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper; set aside. In a medium bowl, toss frisee with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons carrot coulis into the center of 4 shallow soup bowls. Spread the coulis in a 4-inch circle. Place a 3-inch ring mold in the center of the coulis.
