Ingredients
- 2 pounds King crab legs
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 units Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Thaw the king crab legs if frozen. Use kitchen scissors to cut along the shell lengthwise to expose the crab meat for easier eating later.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in the parsley, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the melted butter mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5
Lightly drizzle the olive oil onto the prepared baking sheet to prevent sticking, then arrange the king crab legs in a single layer.
Step 6
Brush the crab legs generously with the prepared herb butter mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Step 7
Bake the crab legs in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until heated through and slightly golden on the edges.
Step 8
Serve the King Crab Royal hot with additional herb butter drizzled on top, and garnish with lemon wedges for squeezing. Pair with crusty bread or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
