Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Legs

    Start by rinsing the snow crab legs under cold water to remove any debris. Set them aside.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, add 4 cups of water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add 2 tablespoons of Old Bay seasoning and salt to taste.

  3. 3

    Cook the Crab Legs

    Carefully add the snow crab legs to the boiling water. Cover the pot and let the crab legs cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are heated through.

  4. 4

    Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce

    While the crab legs are cooking, melt 1 cup of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves to the butter and cook for 1-2 minutes or until aromatic. Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley and remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the crab legs are cooked, remove them from the pot and serve them hot with lemon wedges and the garlic butter sauce on the side.
