  • 1 pack snow crab leg meat (16 oz, merus)
  • 1 cup arborio rice
  • 4 cups warm chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup white wine (optional)
  • ½ cup grated parmesan
  • 1 lemon (zest + juice)
  • Salt and pepper
  • Fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Warm broth in a pot and keep it hot (this is key for creamy risotto).
  • In a pan, heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. Add shallot and cook until soft.
  • Add garlic and arborio rice, stirring for 1–2 minutes to lightly toast.
  • Add white wine (if using) and let it cook off.
  • Add warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until absorbed before adding more.
  • Continue until rice is creamy and just tender (about 18–20 minutes).
  • Stir in remaining butter, parmesan, lemon zest, and juice.
  • Gently fold in snow crab and warm for 1–2 minutes.
  • Season, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
