Hot Crab Butter

Cook snow crab legs and claws in a rich butter broth spiked with white wine and lime juice. Aromatics soften and flavors meld as the butter melts gently, coating every crevice of crab. Serve steaming with herb butter or smoky aioli for dipping. Practical for large groups. Recognize doneness by warm shell and a fragrant broth bubbling softly, not rolling boil which toughens crab meat. Substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth or tiger prawns for crab for a quick twist. Use ghee or clarified butter to avoid burning; watch heat levels closely. Timing flexible but rely on touch and aroma cues throughout.
