Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pan over medium. Add 1 sliced onion and 3 minced garlic cloves, cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in 2 chopped chili peppers and 1 diced tomato. Cook until tomatoes break down, about 3 minutes, until fragrant.
Step 3
Add 1 lb cleaned crab pieces and 1 cup coconut milk. Stir gently to coat, then simmer until crab is heated through and sauce thickens slightly, about 8 minutes.
Step 4
Season with salt to taste. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
