The crab was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try it again with a shorter cooking time.

Not bad, but not great either. The crab was a bit dry and the sauce was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The recipe was easy to follow and the crab turned out great. The butter sauce was a bit too rich for my taste, but overall it was a good dish.
