If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of
Cut the stick of butter in half and put each half into a small bowl - don’t do anything with it yet
Break each leg into 2 - 4 pieces - depending on how long they are (pieces should be about 5 - 6 inches long)
Fold 3 paper towels in half, so they’re sort of 1 1/2 paper towels long and lightly dampen with water then wrap around the crab legs (these are already cooked...we’re just warming them)
Place the bundle in the microwave for 2 minutes
Remove the crab, and while you’re putting it onto a platter, put the butter bowls into the crow to melt - about 30 seconds I think
Remove bowls and add the pepper to one and the chili powder to the other
Open the shells, get to the meat and dip into your favorite butter sauce (but be sure to try both before you decide)
