This recipe guarantees perfectly cooked crab legs every time, whether you’re using snow crab, king crab, or Dungeness crab. Serve it the classic way with melted butter, a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning, and a fre squeeze of lemon.
No need for a fancy seafood restaurant or steakhouse to enjoy crab. Cooking them at home is not only more affordable but also surprisingly quick and easy. With just a few ingredients and a little know-how, you’ll be serving up restaurant-quality crab legs that the whole family will love.
Ingredient Notes
Snow Crab Legs: This recipe uses about 1 pound (2 clusters). King crab or Dungeness crab legs can also be used—adjust the cooking time slightly as king crab legs are larger.
Salted Butter: Melted butter is perfect for dipping. If you prefer unsalted butter, you can add a pinch of salt for flavor.
Old Bay Seasoning: A seafood classic! If you don’t have Old Bay, try Cajun seasoning for a spicier kick.
Lemon: Fresh lemon wedges are a must for serving with crab legs. Slice them in half lengthwise and then into wedges.
