Ingredients
- 1 lb (500g) King Crab Legs
- 1/2 tick salted butter melted
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- lemon slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Thaw the crab legs if they are frozen. Using a sharp knife or a pair of scissors, slice or cut the crab legs in half to expose the flesh. Arrange them evenly on a baking sheet or tray.
- Melt the butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Add the garlic, parsley, and lemon juice to the melted butter, and stir to combine. Drizzle and spread the butter mixture over the crab, saving some for dipping.
- Bake the crab legs in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until they are heated through. Serve immediately with the remaining garlic lemon butter and lemon slices. Squeeze some lemon juice over the crab before eating.
