Drescription

An easy crab legs recipe with a garlicky butter sauce that's ready in just 20 minutes! I ended up getting some snow crab legs on sale at the market. I wanted something a little different from plain steamed, boiled, or grilled crab legs, so I ended up throwing a few things together to make this awesome crab leg recipe. This dish would be great with shrimp as well.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound snow crab clusters, thawed if necessary
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Cut a slit, length-wise, into the shell of each piece of crab.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in parsley, pepper, and salt. Continue to heat mixture until bubbling.
  3. Add crab legs to the skillet; toss to coat with butter mixture. Simmer until completely heated through, 5 to 6 minutes.
  4. Serve hot and enjoy!

The sweetness of apple and coconut milk counterbalances the garlic, ginger, curry and cayenne.
