Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Legs

    Thaw the king crab legs if frozen by placing them in the refrigerator overnight or running under cold water for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Boil the Crab Legs

    Fill a large pot with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the crab legs and cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through.

  3. 3

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and let it infuse for about 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the crab legs from the pot and drain. Serve immediately with melted garlic butter and lemon wedges on the side.
