Serves 2-4 depending on how hungry they are. Snow crab legs were a meal saved for special nights at home and although just steaming in old bay and serving with butter is also delicious, this ‘enhanced’ recipe soon became our favorite method. We used a Dutch oven and roasted at 350 but this could probably be done on the stovetop.
Ingredients:
3 lb Snow Crab Legs, frozen
1/2 C Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 T Old Bay (or similar) seasoning
1/2 C Chopped Parsley
1/2 C Butter
1 – 2 T Red Pepper Flakes
Juice of one Lemon
Add frozen crab legs to Dutch oven, pour over EVOO, Old Bay, Garlic, Parsley and crushed red. Cut butter into 1/8″ slices and lay over crab legs so that it will coat the legs in butter as it melts.
Place in 350 degree oven for 10 minutes, baste with juices from the bottom and back in for 5 minutes, baste again and 5 more minutes.
Test one of the crab leg pieces for doneness and if needed baste again and return to the oven for a few more minutes.
When ready to serve, squeeze lemon juice overtop and reserve some liquid into small cups for dipping.
