Preparation

Note from Ricardo

This sauce is delicious with grilled steak or seafood pasta.

Set aside your shells from warm buttered crab or a crab boil for this recipe. If you don’t have any leftover crab shells, buy snow crab, either fresh in season or frozen during the rest of the year. Remove the meat from the crab before using the shells. Add the meat to your meal for a proper surf’n’turf or save it for another recipe.
