These babies make an excellent choice for a romantic evening with that special someone that you adore - or when you just want to inject a little excitement into your family lunch or dinner menus.
Light a few candles, put your favorite crooner on the music player and turn the lights down low. Heat a bit of lower fat margarine which you can dip your prepared seafood into. Add other healthy foods to the plate such as whole grain corn muffins, biscuits, bread sticks, steamed rice and vegetables.
Our recipe makes use of a reduced fat option for dipping purposes; butter is the culprit.
Low Fat, Low Calorie Ingredients
1 pound of steamed crab legs from your favorite market
1 bottle of no-calorie refrigerated butter-style spray
Ask your market to steam the legs for you. They should ask if you'd like any seasonings to be added such as Cajun, Lemon Pepper, or garlic.
Eat the crab legs as soon as possible when you arrive home. Warm the refrigerated butter-style spray in your microwave or on top of the stove. Dip the crab meat into the butter.
You can add a bit of garlic salt to the butter, or some chopped parsley. Enjoy!
