Add Step-by-Step Photos	Mystic_river1 / All my dishes 2 years, 1 month ago You couldn't ask for a simpler or more successful dish. As long as you can get fresh Dungeness crabs, this dish is on the menu. Stone crabs, spider crabs, blue crabs, or lobsters can all be substituted for Dungeness in this recipe.

Ingredients

4-5 garlic cloves

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 Dungeness crabs, about 1-1/4 pounds each, cooked, cleaned, and cracked

salt and freshly ground pepper

3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Preheat the oven to 500 F.

Heat the butter, olive oil, and garlic in a very large ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat until hot. (You may need 2 pans.)

Add the crab, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss well. Transfer to the oven and roast until the garlic turns light brown and the crab is heated through, about 12 minutes.

Toss once halfway through.

Pour the contents of the pan into a large warm serving bowl, add the lemon juice and the parsley, and toss well.

Serve pronto with plenty of napkins!

Believe it or not I have served this very recipe for Christmas Eve dinner since I first got my hands on it...10 years ago? It is soooooo easy and sooooo beautiful and a lot of good fun to eat with Italian bread to soak up the sauce. I double the sauce part. It's getting harder each year for me to get the fresh live crabs...however.

Make that 15-20 years ago. I saw him do it on a PBS cooking show. It's truly a special treat!
