Crab Legs Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Legs

    Thaw the crab legs if they are frozen by placing them in the refrigerator overnight. Rinse them under cold water to remove any debris.

  2. 2

    Boil the Water

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of Old Bay seasoning to the boiling water.

  3. 3

    Cook the Crab Legs

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the crab legs from the pot and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle with garlic butter, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
