King Crab Legs w/ Garlic Butter Sauce

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 King Crab Legs defrosted
  • 125 gr butter room temperature
  • 2 big garlic cloves minced
  • ¼ tsp Pimenton smoked pepper powder
  • squeeze of lemon juice
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • For garnish:
  • parsley 
  • lemon wedges

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 205 C or 400 F.
  • Cut the defrosted King Crab into pieces of 10 cm and lengthwise so the crab meat is exposed. This way you can drizzle the butter better later on.
  • Then arrange the leg pieces on a baking tray and cover it with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • While the King Crab is baking, prepare the garlic butter by softening it with a fork or whisk. Then add the chopped garlic, Pimenton, a squeeze of lemon juice and season with salt & pepper to taste. Set this aside.
  • When the King Crab is fully baked, drizzle or scoop the butter over the pieces and make sure it goes inside the shell. Finally garnish with parsley, lemon wedges and enjoy! If you make my recipes, please tag me in them and use #thespicedchickpearecipes. I'd love to see what you've made.
