Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Thaw the king crab legs if frozen, and rinse them under cold water.

  2. 2

    Make the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Lemon

    Cut the lemon in half and set aside for serving.

  4. 4

    Steam the Crab Legs

    Place a pot of water with a steaming basket on the stove. Bring the water to a boil. Add the crab legs to the basket and cover. Steam for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the crab legs from the steamer. Drizzle the garlic butter over them, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon halves on the side.
