Garlic Lemon Butter Crab Legs
Most frozen crab legs are heavily salted, so at buffets, they usually just boil them and serve with melted butter. DO NOT do that at home, because boiling them depletes the natural sweetness of the crab legs, which is what makes it so delicious. All you need are some melted butter, garlic, lemon juice and parsley, and bake them in the oven.
Throw a summer party and serve these crab legs with Cheddar Bay Biscuits, Honey Butter Corn and Beer-Steamed Mussels.
Garlic Lemon Butter Crab Legs Recipe
Serves 2 | Prep Time: 10 Minutes | Cook Time: 5 Minutes
Ingredients:
1 lb king crab legs
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) salted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
Lemon slices
Method:
Preheat oven to 375F.
Thaw the crab legs if they are frozen. Using a sharp knife or a pair of a scissors, slice or cut the crab legs into halves to expose the flesh. Arrange them evenly on a baking sheet or tray.
Melt the butter in a microwave, for about 30 seconds. Add the garlic, parsley and lemon juice to the melted butter. Stir to mix well. Drizzle and spread the butter mixture on the crab. Save some for dipping.
Bake the crab legs in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the crab legs are heated. Serve immediately with the remaining garlic lemon butter and lemon slices. Squeeze some lemon juice on the crab before eating.
