Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Legs

    Thaw the Alaskan King Crab legs if they are frozen. You can do this by placing them in the refrigerator overnight or running them under cold water for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Boil the Crab

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the crab legs and boil for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.

  3. 3

    Make the Garlic Butter

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Squeeze in the juice of the lemon and stir in Old Bay seasoning.

  4. 4

    Serve the Crab

    Remove the crab legs from the pot, drain, and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle the garlic butter over the crab legs, garnish with chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
