Directions

1

Prepare the Crab Legs

Thaw the snow crab legs if they are frozen by placing them in the refrigerator for 8 hours or submerging them in cold water for 30 minutes.

2

Boil Water

In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil. Add 2 tablespoons of Old Bay seasoning to the boiling water.

3

Cook the Crab Legs

Carefully add the thawed snow crab legs to the boiling water. Cover the pot and let them steam for about 5-7 minutes.

4

Melt the Butter

While the crab legs are cooking, melt 1 cup of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Squeeze in the juice of 1 lemon for added flavor.

5

Serve

Remove the crab legs from the pot using tongs and place them on a serving platter. Serve hot with the melted lemon butter on the side.
