Main Ingredients

Dipping Sauce

Method

Preparing the Crab Legs

  1. 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. 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. 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. 4

    Remove and Drain

    Using tongs, carefully remove the crab legs from the pot and let them drain in a colander.

Preparing the Dipping Sauce

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over low heat.

  2. 6

    Add Garlic

    Finely chop 4 cloves of garlic and add them to the melted butter. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 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.
