Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 lb king crab legs
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1-2 tsp Creole seasoning
- ½ tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chopped chives or parsley
- lemon wedges to serve
Instructions:
- Crab legs can be quickly defrosted by placing them under cold running water for a few minutes, or by storing them in the refrigerator overnight.
- Set the oven to 375°F.
- When you’re ready to cook, split the crab legs in half so you can see the meat. Instead of using a knife, use scissors or kitchen shears. Later on, you’ll thank me.
- Put crab legs on a baking sheet or in a pan that can go in the oven.
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, and creole spice. For about a minute, microwave. Lemon juice is removed and added. Mix well.
- Reserve any extra butter mixture for serving and brush it all over the crab legs.
- For about 5 minutes, or until the crab legs are thoroughly heated, place them in the preheated oven. Add some chives or parsley.
- The remaining sauce and/or lemon wedges for squeezing over the meat should be served right away.
