Description:

Succulent lump crab meat quickly sautéed in rich garlic butter with a hint of fresh lemon, perfect as an elegant appetizer or a luxurious light main course.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) cooked lump crab meat (jumbo lump or backfin)
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions:

  1. In a large skillet or frying pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened, being careful not to brown or burn it.
  3. Gently add the cooked lump crab meat to the skillet. Toss very gently with a spoon or spatula to coat the crab in the garlic butter. Avoid breaking up the lumps too much.
  4. Continue to heat for 2-3 minutes, just until the crab is warmed through. Since the crab is already cooked, do not overcook it, as it can become tough.
  5. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. For an extra touch of freshness, you can stir in 1-2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley (optional).
  7. Serve immediately. This dish is excellent on its own, with crusty bread for dipping, or over pasta.
