Directions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
