Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Crab Legs
If the crab legs are frozen, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or run them under cold water for about 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Arrange the Crab Legs
Place the thawed crab legs on a baking sheet. Brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture.
Bake the Crab Legs
Bake the crab legs in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
