Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the tough ends of the asparagus and rinse under cold water. In a pot of boiling salted water, blanch the asparagus for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Crab Meat

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the blue crab meat, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, arrange the blanched asparagus in the center. Top with the sautéed crab meat, and generously drizzle with bearnaise sauce.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
