Serving

1-2 meyer lemons (2 tsp finely grated zest , 3 tbsp juice, plus thin slices for garnish)
2 tbsp sherry
1/2 cup (8 tbsp) unsalted butter ( preferably kerrygold pure irish), room temperature
1 tsp harissa paste or 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 oz lump crabmeat , picked over for shells

Add butter, lemon zest, and harissa; purée until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Gently fold crabmeat into butter (keep crab pieces intact). Pack crab butter into a crock, smoothing top with a butter knife. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours and up to 2 days.
Garnish with lemon slices, if desired. Let stand until room temperature, about 1 hour, and serve with buttered toast points.
