Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Crab
Fill a large pot with water, add salt, and bring it to a boil. Add the fresh crab and cover the pot. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the crab turns bright red. Remove the crab and let it cool.
Prepare the Lemon Butter Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Squeeze the juice from the lemons into the butter and season with black pepper. Stir well.
Serve
Once the crab is cool enough to handle, crack the shells and remove the meat. Place the crab meat on a serving platter. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the crab and garnish with fresh parsley.
