I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the crabs always turn out perfectly. I usually serve them with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad.

These crabs are amazing! The hazelnut crust is so flavorful and the meunière sauce is the perfect complement. I served them with roasted asparagus and it was a meal to remember.

I've made this recipe several times and it never disappoints. The crabs are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The hazelnut crust is a great way to add a little extra flavor and crunch.

So easy to make and so delicious! I used a pre-made meunière sauce from the store, but it still turned out great. The crabs were crispy and the sauce was creamy and tangy. I served them with roasted asparagus and it was a perfect meal.
