King Crab Legs

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Legs

    In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of sea salt and the Old Bay seasoning to the boiling water.

  2. 2

    Cook the Crab Legs

    Carefully add the king crab legs to the pot. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    While the crab legs are cooking, melt 1 cup of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the crab legs from the pot and drain. Serve hot with lemon wedges and garlic butter on the side for dipping.
