1
Prepare the Crab
Fill a large pot with 4 cups of water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and bring the water to a rolling boil.
2
Cook the Crab
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the Dungeness crab to the pot. Cover it with a lid and let it cook for 10-15 minutes or until the crab turns bright orange.
3
Remove and Cool
Once cooked, carefully remove the crab from the pot using tongs. Place it on a plate and let it cool for a few minutes before cracking the shell.

4
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over low heat.
5
Add Garlic
Once melted, add 4 tablespoons of minced garlic to the butter and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
6
Mix in Lemon Juice and Seasonings
Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Let it simmer for an additional minute.
