Steam or boil the crab pieces until cooked through and bright red; drain and set aside.

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant but not browned (about 2 minutes).

Stir in Old Bay, paprika, Cajun seasoning, brown sugar, lemon pepper, cayenne, and vinegar. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring often, to create a thick flavorful sauce.
