👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté finely chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the crab meat to the skillet, pour in the white wine, and simmer for 5 minutes until the wine has mostly evaporated. Stir in the heavy cream and a pinch of paprika, cumin, and oregano; bring to a gentle simmer.
3. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the crab mixture evenly among individual oven-safe ramekins or small clay pots.
4. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over each serving, followed by a light dusting of breadcrumbs for a crispy topping. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.
