Smoky Garlic Butter:
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into chunks
½ tsp (2 mL) hot smoked paprika
2-3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp (15 mL) finely chopped parsley
3 lbs (1.5 kg) Rock Harbour King Crab Legs, thawed
Lemon wedges to serve
Preheat grill to medium-high.
Add butter to a medium skillet, preferably a stainless steel one (this allows you to better see the butter’s changing colour) and set over medium heat. Once fully melted, stir frequently until butter begins to smell nutty and particles in bottom of pan are light golden. Remove from heat and continue to stir until particles are deep golden. Pour into a small heat-proof bowl. Stir in paprika, garlic, and parsley. Keep warm while preparing the crab legs.
Grill the crab for 6-8 minutes total, depending on thickness, turning once or twice, until heated through. Serve warm with the Smoky Garlic Butter and lemon wedges.
