Main Ingredients

Optional Dipping Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Snow Crab Legs

    Rinse the snow crab legs under cold water to remove any debris. Pat them dry with a paper towel and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dipping Sauce (Optional)

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, hot sauce, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside for serving.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the lemon, halved, and Old Bay seasoning to the pot.

  2. 4

    Cook the Crab Legs

    Once the water is boiling, carefully add the snow crab legs. Cover the pot and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.

  3. 5

    Prepare Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over low heat. Add minced garlic (from 3 cloves) and cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Remove the crab legs from the pot and serve immediately with the garlic butter and optional dipping sauce.
