Preparation

Cooking steps

1. Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.

2. Step 2

In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat until fully combined and just starting to bubble.

3. Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the butter-oil mixture and cook 1–2 minutes, stirring, until fragrant but not browned.

4. Step 4

Off heat, whisk in lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper into the sauce.

5. Step 5

Arrange the crab halves on the prepared baking sheet. Brush generously with about half of the garlic lemon butter sauce. If using, dust with paprika.

6. Step 6

Bake the crab for 6–8 minutes, until the crab is warmed through and the butter is bubbling.

7. Step 7

Remove from oven, brush with remaining sauce, sprinkle chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
