Happy Sunday, friends! Don’t be crabby about the weekend coming to an end, because we’ve got one mouthwatering seafood roundup ahead.
Lately, we’ve been finding ourselves craving crab. Crab meat is sweet tender and flaky – which makes it a versatile summer seafood choice. Plus, it has high nutritional value. Like other seafood, crab is low in calories, so it’s a great option to have on hand during swimsuit season. (Fun fact: Most of the calories in crab are from protein, meaning it helps you stay feeling fuller longer!) Crab is also easy to find at your local grocery store or market, whether it’s in the fresh case, or pasteurized can. It’s great for every preference and budget.
Whether you’re craving classic comfort food or lighter fare, we’ve rounded up seven must-make crab recipes that should fit the bill!
