Baked Crab Legs in Butter Sauce

Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 15 mins | Servings: 2-4

Ingredients

• 2 lbs King or Snow crab legs (thawed)

• ½ cup (1 stick) Unsalted butter, melted

• 3 cloves Garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice

• 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning (or smoked paprika)

• ½ tsp Dried parsley

• Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

2. Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, and parsley.

3. Arrange: Place the crab legs on the prepared baking sheet. Use a brush to generously coat the legs with about half of the butter sauce.

4. Bake: Cover the baking sheet tightly with another piece of foil to trap the steam. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the crab is heated through.

5. Finish: Remove the top foil. Serve the hot crab legs immediately with the remaining butter sauce on the side for dipping and fresh lemon wedges.
