Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Claws

    Rinse the snow crab claws under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Crab Claws

    Add the snow crab claws to the skillet and stir gently to coat them with the garlic and oil.

  4. 4

    Season and Sauce

    Add Louisiana hot sauce, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to ensure the claws are well coated in the sauce.

  5. 5

    Cook

    Sauté the crab claws for about 5-7 minutes until they are heated through and coated in sauce.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the fresh parsley.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the crab claws from heat and serve immediately with the hot drawn butter on the side.
