Baked Crab Legs in Butter Sauce
Ingredients
1 lb (453.59g) king crab legs
4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon garlic)
1-2 teaspoons (4g-8g) Creole seasoning
½ tablespoon (7.5ml) lemon juice
1 tablespoon (3g) chopped chives or parsley
lemon wedges to serve
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Cut the crab legs in half before cooking so the meat is exposed, using kitchen shears or scissors.
Place the crab legs in an oven-safe pan or on a baking sheet. Mix the melted butter, garlic, and Creole seasoning in a small bowl, then microwave for about a minute.
Stir in the lemon juice and mix well. Brush the butter mixture over the crab legs and save any extra for serving.
Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the crab legs are heated through.
Sprinkle with parsley or chives and serve right away with the remaining sauce and lemon wedges.
