1 2-lb Dungeness Crab 
1 tbsp unsalted butter softened
1 tbsp olive oil
2 clove garlic finely chopped (divided)
1 tbsp Italian parsley finely chopped (divided)
1 tsp chili flakes more or less to taste
juice of 1 fresh lemons

Directions

Preheat oven to 350

Combine the butter and olive oil in a small dish. Add half the garlic, half the parsley, the chili flakes and lemon juice.

Place crabs on a sheet pan and coat with the butter and olive oil mixture. Top with the remaining garlic and parsley.

Cook for 16-22 minutes. (The cooking time will vary slightly based on how many crabs you’re cooking. For 1-2 crabs, check for doneness after 16 minutes.)

Notes:
- Plan on one 2-pound(ish) Dungeness crab for each person as a main course. To make this dish as an appetizer, half a crab per person works fine
- This recipe scales easily; simply increase the ingredients accordingly for more crabs
