Fried King Crab Legs with Garlic Butter

Fried King Crab Legs with Garlic Butter

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs King Crab Legs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 eggs, beaten
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions:

1. Thaw the king crab legs if they’re frozen, then pat them dry with paper towels.
2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
4. Dip each crab leg into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6. Carefully place the coated crab legs into the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Fry the crab legs for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
7. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Stir in the chopped parsley.
8. Arrange the fried crab legs on a serving platter and drizzle with the garlic butter sauce.
9. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the crab legs.
