This isn’t just math—it’s about keeping the good vibes flowing. Nothing kills a party faster than a shortage of the main attraction. You want people to leave rubbing their bellies, not Googling “late-night pizza near me.”
Getting the amount right means you can relax, crack your own legs, and enjoy the mess. It turns a stressful “am I making enough food?” into a confident “pass the butter, we’re good.”
One more thing: snow crab is a luxury. It’s not Tuesday night meatloaf. So treat yourself to that extra half-pound. You earned it. And if you end up with leftovers, you just won the breakfast lottery.
So next time you’re at the store, grab that big bag. Don’t second-guess. One to one-and-a-half pounds per person. Write it on a sticky note if you have to. Your future self—butter-stained and content—will thank you.
Now go boil that water. Dinner’s about to get very, very good.
