Directions

1. First the crabs. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, on broil. In a small saucepan over medium low heat add butter, minced garlic, a few pinches of parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice into the sauce and sauté for 5-7 minutes and set aside.
2. Break down crab legs by cutting them at the joints. Move segmented pieces to a steamer until them are pretty much warmed through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from steamer, and once they’re cool enough to handle, use kitchen shears to cut away portions of the shell in order to expose the meat.
3. Arrange the pieces on a racked baking dish, brushing each piece with a generous helping of the garlic sauce. Move pan into the oven on the center rack, and cook until the crabs start showing a nice golden brown color; 5-7 minutes. Remove from oven, and spoon on a little more sauce over the crab, and sprinkle on a few pinches of fresh parsley for garnish and plate up.
