Crab Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pot

    Fill a large pot with 4 cups of water and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Add the Crab Legs

    Once the water is boiling, carefully add the 2 lbs of snow crab legs to the pot. Make sure they are submerged in the water.

  3. 3

    Cook the Crab

    Cover the pot and let the crab legs cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through. If using frozen crab legs, increase cooking time to 10-12 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove and Drain

    Use tongs to carefully remove the crab legs from the pot and place them on a plate to drain excess water.

    Melt Butter

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter until fully liquid.

  2. 6

    Add Garlic

    Mince the 4 cloves of garlic and add them to the melted butter. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

  3. 7

    Mix in Lemon Juice and Season

    Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. Season with black pepper to taste.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Pour the garlic butter sauce over the cooked snow crab legs or serve it on the side for dipping.
