Instructions

  1. Fill a large pot half full with water and bring to a boil. Add the salt and Old Bay seasoning and return to boiling.
  2. While the water comes to a boil, place the butter in a small saucepan and melt over medium-low heat. Cook the butter for about 1 minute until it starts to foam. Remove it from the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes. Remove the milk solids floating on top of the butter with a spoon. Pour the clarified butter into a bowl.
  3. Add the crab legs to the pot of boiling water and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for 5 to 6 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Remove the crab from the pot and serve immediately with the melted butter and lemon wedges.
