Melt butter in pan. Stir in the 1 cup dry vermouth and the chicken broth. Add parsley, garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice and sugar. Bring to a boil. Cover; reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Add crabs. Cover and simmer until heated through. Pour additional 1/4 cup dry vermouth over crab. If thicker sauce is desired, blend 2 tablespoons cornstarch into butter.
Serve with crusty French bread, followed by cheese and fruit. |
