Thaw frozen snow crab legs in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for 30 minutes.
In a large pot with a steamer basket, add 4 cups of water and 1 tsp of salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
While the crab legs are steaming, melt 0.5 cup of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in 1 tbsp of Old Bay seasoning.
Carefully remove the steamed crab legs from the pot. Serve immediately with the melted garlic butter and lemon wedges.
