Buttery Garlic Crab
Many of us have this tiny little shop where you have bought some of the
most amazing and flavorful foods ever! You know that place you only
know about because you stumbled across it one day and decided to try
them out! There was this little place that used to steam crab-legs so perfectly...they used a garlicky-buttery seasoning that brought out the sweetness of the meat. WHEW, it was so good!
Unfortunately the little seafood shop has closed down but I wasn’t ready to
give up that euphoric experience! So I did what I do best, I started
thinking of how I could replicate and improve the recipe. I started day dreaming about the flavors from the little seafood shop
and began to write down the ingredients I thought was in the butter and
garlic sauce. The trial run came out perfectly. I'll defiantly be preparing them this way from now on. If you love crab, be them whole or the legs, try this
recipe you will absolutely love love love it!!!!!! Needless to say Dinner this Sunday was a success, between my crab-legs, and my husbands fried shrimp & oysters. I was full beyond misery lol.
