Ingredients

  • 1 Moray Seafoods crab claws, cracked.
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely grated.
  • 1 tablespoon chives, chopped.
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped.
  • 1 tablespoon, tarragon, chopped.
  • Juice of a quarter lemon.
  • 120g butter, at room temperature.
  • Pinch of sea salt.
  • Ground black pepper.

Preparation

  1. If the crab claws are frozen defrost in fridge using package guidelines ready for cooking.
  2. Beat the butter with a wooden spoon or spatula until fluffy and white in colour, add the lemon juice, chopped herbs, garlic, salt and pepper and mix in until all combined.
  3. Roll butter mix in cling film or grease proof paper into a sausage shape and place in the fridge to harden.

Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium high setting. Place the crab claws flat on a shallow tray lined with tin foil.
  2. Remove the butter from the fridge and slice off into rounds and place on top of crab claws.
  3. Place under the grill and warm through for 4-5 minutes.
  4. While the crab claws are warming through, gently melt the remaining butter, either in a pan or in the microwave on a low setting.
  5. To serve divide the crab claws between 4 plates, pour the melted butter into 4 small pots or ramekins. A simple mix salad would complement this dish.
  6. Chef Tip; A finger bowl would be handy to help keep fingers clean while eating the crab claws. Pour hot water in a bowl with a couple slices of lemon.
