Butter Roast Dungeness Crab

Well, it is a dungeness crab season in California. It is so cheap, cost $3.99 per lb last weekend and lots of people are crazy about them. I am sure lots of people cooking the crabs at home, their own Grandma or Mama style. Also there are lots of good restaurants serving good crabs, such as PPQ Dungeness Island, a Vietnamese restaurant. So, I decided to cook the crab, my own style, inspired by PPQ, called  Butter Roast Dungeness Crab. One crab can feed 2 people.

Ingredients:-

1 small size Dungeness crab (1.5 lb) clean and cut into 4 pieces.
1/2 stick unsalted butter (divide into 2 portion)
1 Tablespoon chop fresh Parsley
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
2 teaspoon Garlic salt


Methods:-

1. Heat a small pot (8-9" size) on medium heat.
2. Put the crab, half of the 1/2 butter, garlic salt and black pepper. Cover the pot with lid. Let it roast in the pot for 5 minutes.
3. Then stir it with thongs and add the rest of the butter and chop parsley, cover with the lid and roast for another 3-5 minutes.
4. You will see the crab is curled up and also you can smell the buttery parsley smell out of the pot.
