Ingredients:
One pound (453.59 grams) of king crab legs.
4 tbsp (56 grams) melted unsalted butter.
3 cloves of garlic, minced (approximately 1 tablespoon of garlic).
1-2 tsp (4-8 grams) Creole seasoning.
1/2 tbsp (7.5 milliliters) lemon juice.
1 tbsp (3 grams) chopped chives or parsley.
Lemon wedges for serving.
Directions:
Step 1
Begin with the aid of preheating your oven to 375 tiers Fahrenheit. When you're ready to cook, cut the crab legs in half to expose the crab flesh.
Step 2
Then, skip the knife and use kitchen shears or scissors to cut the crab legs; it's safer and more convenient. You'll appreciate it later.
Step 3
After that, put the crab legs in an oven-safe pan or on a baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine butter, garlic, and Creole seasoning. Microwave this mixture for about a minute.
Step 4
After microwaving, take the mixture out and add lemon juice. Stir it thoroughly. Brush the crab legs with the butter mixture, making sure to cover them entirely. You can save any extra mixture for serving.
Step 5
Next, put the crab legs in the preheated oven for approximately 5 minutes, or until the crab legs are heated through.
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle the crab legs with parsley or chives, and serve them immediately. You can also provide the remaining sauce and lemon wedges for squeezing over the meat.
Short tips:
