Okay, the user wants me to write an SEO-optimized description for a marinated crab legs recipe. It needs to be under 150 characters and include relevant keywords.

First, I should figure out what the main keywords are here. Crab legs are the star, so "crab legs" is definitely important. Words like "marinate," "taste," "delicious," and maybe something about technique or flavor would be good to include for SEO purposes.

I need to make sure the description is catchy but concise since it's under 150 characters. Maybe start with an enticing phrase that highlights both the marinating process and the final taste.

Let me think of a structure: "Marinate fresh crab legs to taste..." That introduces the action and the end goal. Then, mention how it enhances flavor for a show-stopping dish. Adding a touch about technique or flavor notes could add more keywords without cluttering too much.

I should ensure that each keyword is naturally integrated so it doesn't look forced. Words like "flavor," "technique," "showstopper" can work well here, each fitting into the natural flow of the sentence.

Putting it all together: something like, "Marinate fresh crab legs to taste for a show-stopping dish! Enhance flavor with our simple technique." Let's see how many characters that is. Hmm, I think under 150.

I should double-check the character count and make sure keywords are included effectively without overstuffing.
