The delicate sweetness of Alaskan king crab is front and center in this easy-to-make appetizer. The crab legs come already cooked and need only be cracked to extract the pink-flecked succulent meat.
Ingredients
- 1 pound frozen Alaskan king crab legs (about 2), thawed
- 8 tablespoons (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 tablespoons medium-dry Sherry
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon lemon juice (to taste)
Instructions
- Crack crab shells with kitchen shears and extract meat. Cut enough crab into 1/2-inch pieces to measure 1/2 cup and transfer to a bowl.
- Pulse remaining crab in a food processor to finely chop (do not over process).
- Add to bowl with remaining ingredients and stir well. Season with salt to taste.
- Pack into a 1 1/2 cup crock or bowl and cover surface with plastic wrap.
- Chill at least 2 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving.
