My Buttered Crab with garlic


This is my first time to cooked a crab! I am very much happy and surprised that it was a succesful dish! Here's how:

Ingredients:

1 Kg crab - clean

1 clove garlic - chopped

half butter - unsalted

Sprite / 7-up and water

salt


Procedure:

1. Put the crab in a sufficient boiling water, add little salt. Let it boil for 2-3 minutes

2. In other pan, fry the garlic until golden brown, set aside

3. When the crab is done, remove to clean unwanted things and cut into half

4. Bring the cut crabs into boil again now with 7-up / sprite

5. When boiling, add the butter

6. Cover and cook in 5-7 min. Simmer.

7. The crab is reddish pink color. Cook for another 5-7 mins.

8. Cook until there's no more sprite. The butter will serve as the sauce.

9. Add the fried garlic and saute.

10. Turn off the heat. Serve hot
