Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Water
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the boiling water.
Cook the Crab Legs
Carefully add the king crab legs to the boiling water. Cover the pot and let them cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.
Melt the Butter
While the crab legs are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Serve
Remove the crab legs from the pot and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle the melted garlic butter over the crab legs and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
