Ingredients

Preparation

  • Cut the snow crab legs into pieces at the joints, then cut the pieces in half lengthwise, exposing the meat. Use either a sharp knife with some weight in it, or sharp scissors.

Glaze

  • Finely chop the garlic and chives, and grate the ginger.
  • Grate the peel and squeeze the juice from the lime.
  • Put garlic, chives, ginger, lime zest and juice in a saucepan.
  • Mix in sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar and ketchup.
  • Bring to the boil and let the mixture simmer on a low heat, stirring, until the sauce thickens, 20-25 minutes.
  • Put rapeseed oil in a frying pan and fry the snow crab legs for 3-4 minutes on high heat.
  • Pour over the glaze and sprinkle with coarsely chopped spring onions before serving.
  • Serve glazed snow crab legs.

Tip: Use a small knife to scrape the meat from the snow crab legs, or use your fingers.
