1
Thaw the Crab Legs
If the crab legs are frozen, place them in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours before cooking to thaw them completely.
2
Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over low heat. Add minced garlic (4 cloves) and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

3
Boil Water
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
4
Cook the Crab Legs
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the thawed crab legs to the pot. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through.
5
Serve with Lemon and Garlic Butter
Remove the crab legs from the pot and drain. Serve hot with lemon wedges and the prepared garlic butter for dipping.
