Ingredients
Scale
1 lb lump crab meat, picked over for shells
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Begin by carefully picking through the crab meat to remove any lingering shells or cartilage. Gently flake the crab meat into bite-sized pieces, taking care not to break it up too much. Mince the garlic and finely chop the shallot, setting them aside for later use. Zest and juice the lemon, measuring out the required amounts.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallot, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are fragrant and slightly softened.
Carefully pour in the white wine and heavy cream, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it reduce for about 5 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
Gently fold the flaked crab meat into the sauce, taking care not to break it up too much. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the crab is heated through and the sauce has reached your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
