Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Legs

    If the crab legs are frozen, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight. Alternatively, you can place them in cold water for a few hours to thaw. Once thawed, rinse under cold water.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt and Old Bay seasoning to the boiling water.

  3. 3

    Cook the Crab Legs

    Carefully add the crab legs to the boiling water. Cover the pot and boil for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.

  4. 4

    Prepare Garlic Butter

    While the crab legs are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley and the juice of half a lemon.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the crab legs from the water and serve them hot with the garlic butter and lemon wedges on the side.
