Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Crab

Begin by thawing the king crab legs if they are frozen. You can do this by placing them in the refrigerator overnight or running them under cold water for a few minutes.

2

Boil Water

Fill a large pot with water and add 1 tablespoon of Old Bay Seasoning and salt to taste. Bring the water to a boil.

3

Cook the Crab

Once the water is boiling, carefully add the king crab legs to the pot. Boil for about 5-7 minutes until they are heated through.

4

Prepare the Garlic Butter

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

5

Serve

Remove the crab legs from the pot and drain. Serve hot with the garlic butter and lemon wedges on the side. Garnish with chopped parsley.
