Melt remaining 6 Tbsp. butter in same skillet over medium heat. Continue to cook until butter foams, smells nutty, and turns caramel-colored, about 5 minutes. Add Old Bay seasoning, then gently fold in crabmeat and Worcestershire (mixture might spatter). Cook, stirring occasionally, until crabmeat is heated through, about 3 minutes.
