Here’s my favorite way of eating crab. For years I was all about steaming them but I found that oven roasting increases the flavor and it also makes the shells brittle so they are easier to peel.<\/p>\n
Here’s how it goes.<\/p>\n
1 cup of melted butter
\n2 tablespoons minced garlic
\n1 julienne sliced leek
\n2 teaspoons dried crushed red pepper (I used 2 packs that came with my pizza)
\n4 large Dungeness crabs, cleaned and cracked
\n3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
\n1\/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
\n1 cup orange juice
\n1\/2 cup vinegar
\n1 lemon, cut in half<\/p>\n
Combine everything in a bowl and mix.<\/p>\n
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.<\/p>\n
Heat the oven to 400 degrees.<\/p>\n
Take crab out of the fridge about 15 minutes before cooking.<\/p>\n
Place pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet.<\/p>\n
Roast for 15 minutes and do a taste test. On average, it should cook in 20 minutes.<\/p>\n
