FRIED KING CRAB RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat with vegetable oil for frying. Get the temperature up to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine all of the dry ingredients and stream in club soda until the consistency of a thick pancake batter forms. Dunk each king crab leg into the batter and gently place in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy roughly 6-7 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a sheet tray with a fitted rack. Season with some salt to taste. In the meantime heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the sugar and spices into the melting butter and stir to combine. The sugar should begin to caramelize lightly and the spices will become aromatic for about 1-2 minutes. Pour in the hot sauce and stir everything together. Remove from heat and serve with the tempura king crab legs.

Steps:

• Crack legs and remove meat trying to get out whole pieces, picking out the joints and such is a great way to reserve meat for another recipe like stuffing for mushrooms etc so don't waste.
• crush crackers in a food processor (preferred method) until fine or use a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin or a bottle (this method doesn't get them as fine as I like though).
• season one side of legs with garlic and cayene (or use the.
• seasonings you like).
• roll crab in flour then egg and last in crackers, place on a plate or cookie sheet until all are ready to fry.
• heat butter in a non-stick skillet on med heat until melted and add crab to pan cook a few minutes and turn. should be a light brown.
• turn again to allow further browning, remove to paper towles to drain excess grease
• serve while hot with lemon wedges and garnish with chives or parsley if desired.
