Main Ingredients

Butter Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab

    Fill a large pot with water, enough to cover the crab legs. Bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, add the crab legs and cook for 6-8 minutes until heated through. Remove and drain.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic

    While the crab is cooking, mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Lemon

    Cut the lemon in half and juice one half, reserving the other half for serving.

Making Butter Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.

  2. 5

    Add Garlic and Seasonings

    Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Arrange the cooked crab legs on a serving platter. Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the crab legs.

  2. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with lemon wedges and additional parsley if desired. Serve warm with the remaining lemon half for squeezing over the crab.
