Oven-baked snow crab with herb butter

• Set the oven to 200 °C.
• 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.

Herb butter

• Finely chop the garlic and thyme, and process it smooth in a blender with room temperature butter, paprika powder, curry and pepper.
• Lather the herb butter over the snow crab meat and cook in the oven for 5 minutes.
• Squeeze over the lime juice before serving.
• Serve the snow crab with bread and a fresh salad.

Tip: 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.
