Crab Claws

Method

• Step-by-Step Method: Crab Claws with Garlic Lemon Butter
• Prepare crab claws: Thaw if using frozen, then rinse and pat dry
• Mince garlic finely and chop parsley; set both aside
• Cut butter into small cubes for easy melting
• Juice the lemon and measure out the needed amount
• Select and measure out desired herbs and spices
• In a small saucepan, melt butter gently over low heat
• Add minced garlic to the melted butter; sauté until just fragrant
• Stir in lemon juice, herbs, and spices; simmer briefly to combine flavors
• In a separate large pan, arrange crab claws in a single layer
• Pour the hot garlic lemon butter mixture evenly over the crab claws
• Cover pan and gently heat crab claws on medium, occasionally basting with the butter sauce until heated through (about 5–7 minutes)
• Uncover and increase heat slightly to allow sauce to reduce and coat the claws, 2–3 minutes
• Turn off heat; sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the crab claws
• Transfer crab claws to a warm serving platter
• Spoon extra pan sauce over the claws for glossy finish
• Garnish with lemon wedges for squeezing and fresh parsley for color
• Serve immediately, optionally with crusty bread to mop up sauce or a light salad on the side
