Basil and lemon zest add fresh flavor to the melted butter served with these no-fuss crab legs.
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 pounds fresh or frozen crab legs, split*
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon snipped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Thaw crab legs, if frozen. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Place crab legs, cut side up, on the greased unheated rack of a broiler pan. Stir together butter, basil, lemon peel, and lemon juice. Brush crab legs with butter mixture. Broil 4 to 6 inches from the heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until heated through.
- Makes 4 (4-ounce) servings
- Note: If split crab legs are unavailable from your grocer, purchase whole legs. Using kitchen shears, cut through the lighter colored underside of each leg. Lay partially split legs on a cutting board. Cut through each hard shell with a sharp knife, completely splitting the legs.
