Ensure your Dungeness crabs are cleaned and cracked. Rinse them under cold water.

In a large skillet, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until gently bubbling.

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until light golden and fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Pour in the dry white wine and bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.

Stir in the remaining butter, chopped parsley, cilantro, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, and smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 1 minute until well combined.

Reduce heat to low and simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes to let flavors meld.

Gently add the cleaned and cracked crab pieces to the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the sauce.

Cover the skillet and let the crab simmer for another 5-7 minutes to warm through and absorb the flavors.

Transfer the Butter Garlic Crab to a serving platter, garnish with extra herbs, and serve immediately with lemon wedges and crusty bread.
