King Crab On The Half Shell
4 cooked Alaska king crab legs in shell (about 3 pounds total), thawed if frozen
1/4 cup butter, melted Seasoned salt Lemon wedges Chopped Parsley Sour Cream
When crab legs are completely thawed (in refrigerator), break at joints (wear gloves). With kitchen
scissors, cut down both sides of each shell; lift off and discard upper half of shell, leaving meat
on lower half. Turn on broiler. Arrange crab legs, shell side down, in a shallow baking pan and
brush crabmeat generously with melted butter. Sprinkle with seasoned salt to taste. Place pan in
broiler (adjust height to 6 inches from heat) and broil for 5 minutes or just until heated through.
Serve several pieces (about 1 whole leg) to each person, garnishing with lemon wedges and sprinkling
with parsley. Pass a bowl of sour cream at the table to spoon over crab.
Serve Crab Legs with Drawn Butter with garlic or shallots. Also serve with tomato relish.
Serves 4
