Butter Basted Cracked Crab Recipe

Butter Basted Cracked Crab Recipe

  • 3/4 cup Lucerne Sweet Cream Butter
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
  • 1 tablespoon Safeway SELECT Gourmet Club Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced parsley
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
  • Hot sauce
  • 6 large Dungeness crabs, cooked, cleaned, and cracked
  • Lemon wedges
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a 1- to 2-quart pan, combine butter, lemon juice, green onion, soy sauce, parsley, and lemon peel over medium heat. Stir occasionally until melted and bubbling, about 7 minutes.
  2. Divide crab pieces between 2 large roasting pans. Brush or spoon butter mixture equally over crab; gently mix to coat evenly. Cover pans with foil.
  3. Bake crab, stirring occasionally, just until warm, about 20 minutes. Transfer crab to a large platter. Pour any butter sauce in pan over crab and serve. Offer lemon wedges to squeeze over crab to taste.
