King Crab Legs (1/2 Lb) Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Crab Legs

   Thaw the king crab legs if they are frozen by placing them in the refrigerator overnight. If you're short on time, you can also run them under cold water for about 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Melt the Butter

   In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic cloves (3) to the melted butter and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

3. 3

   Season the Butter

   Add 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning to the garlic butter mixture. Stir well and remove from heat. Set aside.

4. 4

   Prepare the Lemon

   Cut the whole lemon in half. Squeeze the juice from one half into the butter mixture. Reserve the other half for serving.

5. 5

   Cook the Crab Legs

   Fill a large pot with water, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and bring it to a boil. Carefully add the thawed king crab legs (0.5 lb) to the boiling water, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the crab legs from the pot and drain. Place on a serving platter and drizzle the garlic butter over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley (2 tbsp), and serve with lemon wedges from the reserved half.
