Ingredients:

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced finely
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb lump crab meat, drained
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp honey

Instructions:

  1. Place the skillet over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil and unsalted butter. Once the butter has melted and begins to foam, stir in the minced garlic. Sauté for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant and pale golden.
  2. Stir in the salt and black pepper. Whisk in the honey (if using) and let the spices bloom in the hot fat for 30 seconds.
  3. Gently fold in the lump crab meat using a silicone spatula, carefully coating the meat in the garlic butter without breaking up the large lumps. Cook for 2–3 minutes, just until the crab is heated through.
