Crab Legs with Garlic Butter Sauce
An easy crab legs recipe with a garlicky butter sauce that's ready in just 20 minutes! I ended up getting some snow crab legs on sale at the market. I wanted something a little different from plain steamed, boiled, or grilled crab legs, so I ended up throwing a few things together to make this awesome crab leg recipe. This dish would be great with shrimp as well.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Snow Crab clusters thawed if necessary
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Cut a slit, length-wise, into the shell of each piece of crab.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in parsley, pepper, and salt. Continue to heat mixture until bubbling.
- Add crab legs to the skillet; toss to coat with butter mixture. Simmer until completely heated through, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
