Prepare the claws
Lightly crack the crab claws using the back of a knife or a crab cracker to make it easier to access the meat once cooked.
Make the garlic butter sauce
In a large pan over medium heat, add butter and olive oil. When the butter starts to foam, add the garlic and chilli. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant (don’t let it brown).
Add the claws
Add the crab claws to the pan and toss gently to coat them in the buttery mixture. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Season & finish
Add the lemon juice, zest, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss again to coat evenly. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve
Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle any remaining butter sauce over the top, and serve immediately with lemon wedges and warm bread for dipping.
Serving Suggestion
Pair with:
A crisp Chenin Blanc or Sauvignon Blanc
A side of braaied corn on the cob with herb butter
A fresh green salad or paprika potato wedges
