Broiled 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

Directions

1. 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.

2. Makes 4 (4-ounce) servings

3. 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.
