This came from Living. I tired this last night and it was very very good.

Famous Roast Garlic Crab
Stone crabs, spider crabs, blue crabs or lobsters can all be substituted for
Dungeness in this recipe.
Ingredients:
Serves 4
4-5 garlic cloves
6 Tbs. unsalted butter
6 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
4 Dungeness crabs, about 1-1/4 lbs. each, cooked, cleaned and cracked
sea salt (preferably Gray salt) and freshly ground pepper
3 Tbs. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4-cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
2. Heat the butter, olive oil and garlic in a very large ovenproof
sauté pan over medium-high heat until hot. You may need two pans for this.
3. Add the crab, season to taste with salt and pepper and toss well.
4. Transfer to the oven and roast until the garlic turns light brown
and the crab is heated through (about 12 minutes). Toss once halfway
through.
5. Pour the contents of the pan into a large warm serving bowl, add
the lemon juice and the parsley and toss well.
