Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 Dungeness crab
- lemon wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Using the flat side of a knife, press down to smash the black peppercorns and chop them roughly. Heat the butter in the microwave, then add the crushed black pepper and salt. Stir to mix well.
- To kill a live Dungeness crab, stab it in the middle of the body, just above its abdominal area. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow all the murky dark water inside the crab to drain out. Rinse the crab and pat it dry with water.
- Coat the crab with the black pepper butter mixture and roast in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, garnish with parsley and lemon wedges, and serve immediately.
