Deliciously baked crab legs coated in garlic butter and seasonings for immense flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds crab legs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter (Melted)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped parsley
- 6 cloves garlic (Minced)
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 piece foil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Pat the crab legs dry and place them on a sheet pan.
- Combine the olive oil, melted butter, parsley, and seasoning in a bowl.
- Brush the butter mixture over both sides of the crab legs.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes. For immense flavor, remove the foil and baste the crab legs with additional butter and seasoning after 10 minutes. Return the foil and resume baking.
- Examine the shoulder (this is the large white part of the cluster). It should be pearly white.
Notes
- This was the juice of half a lemon for me.
- Adjust garlic to your taste for more or less flavor.
