Preparation

Set the oven to 175 °C.
Remove the seeds from the bell peppers and cut them in strips. Peel the garlic cloves, add them to a ovenproof dish with the oil and bake for 8 minutes. Add the bell pepper and bake until tender, ca. 10 minutes.
Cut the snow crab legs into pieces at the joints, then cut the pieces in half lengthwise so that the meat is exposed. Use either a sharp knife with some weight in it, or sharp scissors. Place the pieces of snow crab on a baking tray with the meat facing up.
Turn the oven up to 200 °C.
Finely chop the garlic and thyme, and process it smooth in a blender with room temperature butter, paprika powder and pepper.
Lather the herb butter over the snow crab meat and cook in the oven for 5 minutes.
Serve the snow crab with baked bell peppers, bread and green olives.

Tips: Feel free to put the herb butter that is left on the baking tray in a bowl, and serve it on the side to dip the crab in.
