These are my absolute favorite, but I've never tired to make them myself. When they were on sale for only $4.88 a pound this weekend, I had to give them a try! They were very intimidating, but they ended up being super easy and they tasted amazing! I like mine plain, with no butter or seasoning, but doctor them up to your hearts desire! Great for a fancy night in!
2 pounds snow crab legs
4 cloves garlic, peeled
Dash of Old Bay Seasoning, if desired.
1 lemon, sliced into wedges
1 stick butter, melted
Get out your very biggest pot and boil a bunch of water in it. When at a rolling boil, throw in the garlic cloves and if using, the Old Bay Seasoning. Put in half the crab legs (if they fit), put the lid on and boil:
if frozen: 15-20 minutes
thawed: 5-10 minutes
Drain and serve with lemon & butter! YUM!






Oh Holy Hannah I LOVE crab legs. LOVE THEM!! We have one place that we go to twice a year that I only get crab legs. There was a buffet at the resort we were at this past weekend and they had crab legs. Hubby said no, but promised he would make me some. So good.
we boil ours in beer with old bay seasoning, AMAZING!!!
