Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by gathering all the ingredients. Rinse the crab meat gently under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside. Dice the red bell pepper and slice the green onions. Mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the garlic is fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the Crab Meat

    Carefully add the jumbo lump crab meat to the skillet. Gently fold the crab into the sautéed vegetables to avoid breaking the lumps. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to heat through.

  5. 5

    Season and Finish

    Drizzle the lemon juice over the crab mixture, and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Gently mix to combine everything.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve immediately. This dish pairs well with toasted bread or over a bed of rice.
