Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by gently picking through the crab meat to remove any shell fragments. Chop the garlic and parsley.

  2. 2

    Melt the Butter

    In a medium-sized skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn.

  3. 3

    Add Crab Meat

    Once the garlic is fragrant, gently add the jumbo lump crab meat into the skillet. Stir carefully to avoid breaking the lumps.

  4. 4

    Season the Mixture

    Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the crab mixture. Stir gently to combine and heat through for about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish with Parsley

    Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the crab meat. Give it a gentle toss to mix.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the buttered jumbo lump crab meat warm, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
