1
Prepare the Crab Legs
Thaw the king crab legs if frozen by placing them in the refrigerator overnight or running them under cold water for about 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Make the Garlic Butter
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Squeeze in the juice of the lemon and stir in the Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
3
Bake the Crab Legs
Place the thawed crab legs on a baking sheet. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the crab legs. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until heated through.
4
Serve
Remove from the oven and serve immediately with extra garlic butter and lemon wedges on the side.
