Seafood and pasta is always a good idea
I love some good seafood. Add some pasta to it, and it is a match made in Heaven! The sauce for this is so light and delicious. All you need with seafood is a little citrus and butter, and it's perfect. The leftovers from this was just as tasty too. If you have little ones that aren't adventurous, you can give them the pasta before added the crab to it. If your kids are like mine, they will love this dish as is. I don't know how I got so lucky with my kids and seafood. I can't wait to get them to the beach to try out something else new!
Ingredients
4 servings of linguine
1.5 lbs frozen crab claws
1 yellow onion
2 garlic cloves (chopped)
4 tbsp lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp cream parsley for topping to taste
Directions
Step 1
Cook pasta according to instructions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water in a big bowl. After you drain the rest of the water from the pasta, place the pasta in the big bowl with the reserved water.
Step 2
Meanwhile, boil a big pot of water to quickly heat up the crab claws for about 3 minutes (you can also allow them to thaw in the fridge overnight or follow other instructions that are given).
Step 3
In a skillet, over medium heat, add the onion, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, butter, and cream. Stir while the onion and garlic cook in the sauce until mostly cooked through and sauce is completely combined. Once done, add to the pasta. Crack the crab claws and add the meat to the pasta. Top with parsley!
