Saute: In a large skillet or sauté pan (or roaster, if your skillet isn’t big enough to hold all the crab), melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Roast: Preheat oven to 400ºF. Move skillet to the oven, and roast for 20 minutes, until heated through.Put crab on a platter, and add the juice of 1–2 limes to the remaining sauce in skillet. Whisk to combine and pour over crab. Finish with remaining herbs and lime wedges.
