Recipe

King crab legs are sold fully cooked andfrozen, so all you need to do is thaw them and heat them through.

Turn the oven on broil with the oven rack set 6-inches away from the heat.

In a small bowl combine the breadcrumbs, salt, and optional grated parmesan cheese. Split the legs lengthwise witha serrated knife and brush them with melted butter and sprinkle them with the breadcrumb mixture. Broil them at for 2 to 3 minutes, or untilthey are golden brown and piping hot.

If the crab legs turn golden brown before they become piping hot, place a tented foil over them and transfer themto a lower oven rack. Let them cook for a few minutes. Serve immediately with a lobster fork and plenty of napkins.

Note about seasoning: You can add whatever flavors you want to spice up the breadcrumb mixture. I especially likeadding a dash of dried oregano or rosemary for an Italian flavor, and for a good old fashioned shore flavor, I add a pinch of paprika.
