  I have for years fried them in 4 to 5 tbls. salted butter, but recently I broiled them and they were fabulous. I also cut out 400-500 calories from the butter , not to mention the reduction in cholesteral. I also left out the Old Bay and found them to be very elegant fare with just the delicate crab flavor.
