Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 5 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 sticks (1 cup) butter, at room temperature
5 cloves garlic, 3 cloves sliced thin and 2 cloves minced
5 cloves garlic, 3 cloves sliced thin and 2 cloves minced
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
4 lemons
1 small loaf of crusty bread, sliced into 1-inch-thick slices
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
1 tablespoon crushed red chile flakes
1/2 cup white wine
5 pounds cooked snow crab legs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Make the compound butter by mixing 1 stick of the softened butter with the minced garlic and 1/4 cup of the chopped parsley. Set aside.
  • To make the butter sauce, squeeze the juice of 2 of the lemons into a shallow saucepan. Reduce by half over medium heat, then whisk in the remaining stick of butter until emulsified.
  • Spread a thin layer of the compound butter on each side of the bread slices. Put the bread on a large baking sheet in a single layer and toast until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, heat a saute pan to medium heat and add the grapeseed oil. Add the sliced garlic and sweat. Add the chile flakes and cook for 20 seconds. Deglaze with the wine and reduce by about 10 percent. Add the remaining compound butter followed by the snow crab legs. Saute until the crab legs are warm, 1 minute, and then finish with the butter sauce, tossing together for a few minutes until combined.
  • Cut the remaining 2 lemons into wedges. Serve the crab legs with the toasted bread and lemon wedges on the side. Garnish with the rest of the chopped parsley.

KING CRAB LEG SCAMPI



King Crab Leg Scampi image

King crab leg scampi is one of my favorite dishes. I made it for my wife a year ago on Valentine's Day because we were unable to go out due to our crazy schedules. Trust me when I say this, we were happier staying in and savoring these instead of eating out. The flavor is buttery, garlicky and incredibly tasty.

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound king crab legs, thawed if frozen
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Cut the crab legs into 3-inch pieces with kitchen shears. Cut along one side of the shell on each piece so the meat can be easily removed after cooking.
  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the crab legs and cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn bright pinkish orange, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley about halfway through the cooking time. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper and top with the lemon zest.
