Cooking Directions

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

    Serve

    Arrange the crab legs on a platter. Drizzle the garlic butter over the crab and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
