Equipment
- Large Skillet
- Sharp knife for cutting
- Spatula or tongs for tossing crab legs
Ingredients
- 1 pound Snow Crab clusters
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1,1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Begin by cutting a length-wise slit into the shell of each crab leg. This helps the flavors seep in while cooking.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook until translucent, usually for about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir in chopped parsley, ground pepper, and salt to the skillet. Keep heating until the mixture starts bubbling, ensuring all the flavors meld together.
- Add the crab legs to the skillet and toss them gently to coat them evenly with the butter mixture. Let them simmer in the skillet until they're completely heated through, which usually takes about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Once the crab legs are hot and ready, serve them up straight from the skillet.
- Enjoy your deliciously buttery and flavorful crab legs!
Notes
- Take care not to overcrowd by using a large pot.
- Verify doneness by smelling and looking at the color.
- For the most optimal flavor and consistency, serve right away.
- To make it easier to consume, serve with crab crackers and little forks.
