Garlic buttered crabs is a seafood dish that you can enjoy with lots of rice! Since the sauce is so flavorful you can consume a lot of rice with this dish. This is not a dish for those who are in a diet because rice has a lot of carbs that most people in diet usually avoid. This dish is composed of blue crabs ( you can also use mud crabs or other crustaceans) with a butter sauce.

The sauce is slightly sweet and added with herbs and spices such as garlic and onion leeks. This dish will truly make you mouth water and crave for more if you ever try to cook and taste this recipe! Try it I’m sure you are going to love it! Please watch also my Youtube video below.
