Add the white wine and reduce by half.
Add half of the cherry tomatoes, the capers and the brown crab meat. Cook for 1-2 minutes on a medium heat.

Add the remaining cherry tomatoes and chopped parsley.
Taste for seasoning, add the juice of the lemon and the butter.
Give it one last toss, then serve immediately with the remaining white crab meat served on top.
