Oh crab how I love thee. I've said it before and I will say it again, I am a crab purist, but this experiment of trying new recipes has taught me there are many great ways to eat crab and this one is no exception. I've made it once before a couple years ago, but for whatever reason have forgotten about it until now. I like this one because you get to choose whether or not you want to dip your crab so my purist side can have a few bites without sauce as well. That said, the sauce is amazing and using fresh cut parsley and chives didn't hurt either.
Things I learned from this recipe:
The sauce separated a little bit so a quick mix before serving and while eating doesn't hurt.
Shoutout to my favorite local grocery store Central Market. I bought a whole cooked crab and they cleaned, cut and cracked it for me all while I was doing the rest of my grocery shopping. The sauce needs to sit for 30 minutes and takes about one minute to make and having the crab already done meant there was really nothing to do to make this great meal.
Would I make this recipe again?:
Definitely
