Cooked crustacean meat gets tossed into the finished dish at the very
END of the recipe so it gets just warmed and not overcooked.

I love crab by itself for the most part. Put it into heated butter and
served on crusty Italian bread. ;-d

I made an asparagus soup recently (pics to follow eventually) and added
crab meat at the very end. It was superb. ;-d
