Directions

1. Heat oven to 450 and heat cast iron skillet over high heat. Cut along one side of crab legs with scissors and put them on a baking sheet. Put scallops on paper towel to dry.
2. Melt 3T butter in small pot or pan. Add garlic and shallots and cook over medium low heat until softened. Stir in pepper flakes and cook another minute. Whisk in miso and mirin until smooth (that might take a little while) and then stir in broth until desired consistency.
3. Put crab in oven. Melt 1T butter in cast iron skillet. Dust scallops with flour, a pinch of salt and some pepper and add to pan. Cook a few minutes until a brown crust has formed and flip for a few minutes on the other side. Remove to a plate.
4. Take crab out of oven, add to plate and serve with a side of sauce.
