Roasted Crab Legs with Drawn Butter
Ingredients
- 2 pounds (960 g) crab legs
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) Drawn butter (recipe follows)
- For Drawn Butter:
- 1/2 pound (240 g) unsalted butter
Method
Step 1
To prepare Drawn Butter: In a small pot, heat 2 cups water. Melt butter in the hot water. Remove pot from the heat and allow cooling slightly. Refrigerate and allow chilling. Drawn butter is ready.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 425 F (220 C).
Step 3
Separate crab legs into segments. With kitchen shears, cut the shell of the leg segments in halves lengthwise making a small trough in which to present the meat. Place the crab meat segments into the shell halves and baste with drawn butter.
Step 4
Roast in preheated oven for 5-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove roasted crab legs from the oven and serve immediately.
