Snow Crab Legs

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Snow Crab Legs
• 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
• 1 whole Lemon
• 2 clove Garlic Cloves
• 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 4 cup Water

Instructions

1. 1

   If using frozen snow crab legs, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Fill a large pot with about 4 cups of water and add 1/2 tsp of salt. Place a steamer basket inside the pot, ensuring the water level is below the basket. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.

3. 3

   Carefully place the thawed snow crab legs into the steamer basket. Cover the pot tightly and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the crab is heated through and fragrant.

4. 4

   While the crab is steaming, prepare the melted butter. In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. If making garlic butter, mince 2 garlic cloves and add them to the melted butter, simmering for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5. 5

   Remove the steamed crab legs from the pot. Serve immediately with the melted butter and lemon wedges for squeezing.
