The Best Oven-Roasted Dungeness Crab Recipe

This Oven-Roasted Dungeness Crab recipe brings out the sweet, succulent flavors of the crab, enhanced with a rich garlic butter sauce and roasted to perfection. It’s an elegant yet easy way to enjoy this seafood delicacy.

Ingredients

(Serves 2-4)

  • 2 whole cooked Dungeness crabs, cleaned and cracked (about 2-3 pounds each)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1-2 lemons)
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce

  • In a bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Coat the Crab

  • Arrange the cleaned and cracked Dungeness crab pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Drizzle the garlic butter sauce generously over the crab, ensuring all pieces are coated.

4. Roast the Crab

  • Roast the crab in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until heated through and slightly caramelized.

5. Garnish and Serve

  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
  • Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side and some crusty bread to soak up the flavorful juices.

Tips

  • Cleaning the Crab: If you’re using live crabs, cook and clean them before roasting. Pre-cooked crabs from your seafood market save time and work great.
  • Flavor Variations: Add a splash of white wine to the garlic butter sauce for extra depth.
  • Pairing Suggestions: Serve with a fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, or buttery pasta for a complete meal.

This Oven-Roasted Dungeness Crab is a simple yet decadent dish that will make any dinner feel like a special occasion. 🦀🍋✨
