Ingredients

• 1 pound Lump crabmeat
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Carefully pick through the crabmeat to remove any shell pieces, being gentle to avoid breaking up the lumps. Set aside.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves finely and have all the other ingredients prepped and measured.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat until frothy but not browned.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and gently stir in the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Add the lump crabmeat to the skillet. Toss gently in the butter mixture to warm through, taking care not to break apart the crab lumps.

Step 7

Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the crab is heated through. Do not overcook to prevent drying out the crabmeat.

Step 8

Sprinkle the paprika and fresh parsley over the dish and give it a final gentle toss.

Step 9

Serve immediately, either as a standalone dish with crusty bread or over rice, pasta, or mixed greens.
