Ingredients
- 1 kg fresh crab (cleaned and cut into pieces)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)

- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or coriander leaves
- Salt to taste
Instructions
Prepare The Crab
- Clean the crab thoroughly and crack the claws slightly for better flavor absorption
Cook The Crab
- In a large pan or wok, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add garlic and onions, sauté until fragrant and slightly golden.
Add Seasoning
- Stir in chili flakes, black pepper, and soy sauce.
- Add the crab pieces and mix well so they’re coated with the butter mixture.
Steam-Cook
- Cover and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the crab shells turn bright orange and the meat is cooked through.
Finish With Lemon & Herbs
- Drizzle lemon juice over the crab, sprinkle parsley or coriander, and toss lightly.
Serve
