About Butter crab

Butter Crab is a rich and indulgent seafood dish commonly found in coastal cuisines, particularly in South Asia and Southeast Asia. The dish usually consists of fresh crab cooked in a vibrant sauce made from butter, garlic, chilies, and aromatic spices, often complemented by herbs like curry leaves or parsley. Butter adds a creamy texture and enhances the flavor profile, but also makes it a calorie-dense option. Packed with protein, crab meat provides essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B12 and D, and minerals such as zinc and selenium, which support brain function, metabolism, and immunity. However, the generous use of butter and sometimes additional cream can increase the levels of saturated fat and cholesterol, making portion control essential for those monitoring heart health. Butter Crab shines as a flavorful indulgence, best enjoyed occasionally within a balanced diet.
