KING CRAB LEG SCAMPI
King crab leg scampi is one of my favorite dishes. I made it for my wife a year ago on Valentine's Day because we were unable to go out due to our crazy schedules. Trust me when I say this, we were happier staying in and savoring these instead of eating out. The flavor is buttery, garlicky and incredibly tasty.

Steps:
- Cut the crab legs into 3-inch pieces with kitchen shears. Cut along one side of the shell on each piece so the meat can be easily removed after cooking.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the crab legs and cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn bright pinkish orange, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley about halfway through the cooking time. Remove from the heat, season with salt and pepper and top with the lemon zest.
