1
Fill the Pot
In a large pot, pour 4 cups of water and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
2
Add the Crab Legs
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the snow crab legs to the pot. Make sure they are submerged in the water.
3
Cook the Crab Legs
Cover the pot and let the crab legs cook for about 5-7 minutes. They are pre-cooked, so you just need to heat them through.
4
Remove and Drain
Using tongs, carefully remove the crab legs from the pot and let them drain in a colander.

5
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over low heat.
6
Add Garlic
Finely chop 4 cloves of garlic and add them to the melted butter. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
7
Finish the Sauce
Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning, and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. Mix well and remove from heat.
