1
Boil the Potatoes and Corn
In a large pot, fill with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes until tender. In the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the corn on the cob to the pot.
2
Prepare the Snow Crab
If boiling, bring a separate pot of salted water to a boil. Add the snow crab legs and cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through. If steaming, place crab legs in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 7-10 minutes.
3
Make Garlic Bath (optional)
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat.

4
Plate the Dish
Serve the boiled or steamed snow crab legs alongside the boiled potatoes and corn on the cob. Drizzle with garlic bath if desired.
