Ingredients
1 lb premium king crab legs, thawed
4 tbsp high-quality unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1–2 tsp Creole seasoning (adjust to your taste)
½ tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the thawed crab legs in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet to prevent any of the delicious butter sauce from spilling.
Create the Garlic Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, Creole seasoning, and fresh lemon juice until well combined.
Coat the Crab Legs: Gently brush the garlic butter sauce all over the crab legs, ensuring they are evenly coated. You can also use a spoon to drizzle the sauce into every crevice.
Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or just until the crab is heated through and fragrant. Crab legs are pre-cooked, so you only need to warm them up.
Garnish and Serve: Carefully remove the crab legs from the oven. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh chives or parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, citrusy finish.
