This is a simi difficult recipe, but the result is ever so delectable. I had something like this at Crustaceans in San Francisco. They used the wonderful Dungeness crabs, but here in Virginia I had to settle for Blue crabs, which turned out just as nice. Ingredients:
8 crabs, cleaned and cracked |
1 whole bulb of garlic, finely chopped |
1 small onion, chopped |
1 -2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper |
1/4 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes |
chopped parsley |
lemon slice |
Directions:
1. Place garlic, onions, butter, salt, red and black pepper into a roasting pan and put into a 450 degree oven.
2. Be sure to watch carefully and cook until onions and garlic turn golden brown.
3. Remove from oven, add crab and blend thoroughly.
4. Make sure the crab (shells and all) is coated.
5. Place pan back into oven on 475 degree for 15-20 minutes, turning crab about every 5 minutes.
6. After the crab has been heated throughout remove from oven.
7. Garlic sauce should be braised onto the shell of the crab.
8. Serve as soon as possible, sprinkled with parsley and garnished with lemon.
