Preparation

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. Prepare the Garlic

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

3. Prepare the Lemon

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

Making Butter Sauce

4. Melt the Butter

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

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

6. Plate the Dish

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

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.
