Pappadeaux Crab Fingers Recipe

One of my favorite things about making crab fingers is the combination of garlic and butter—it’s truly a testament to how a few good-quality ingredients can create something amazing.
For best results, don’t skip agitating the pan while cooking—it helps ensure even cooking and infuses every bite with flavor.
