    Ingredients

    • 1 pound king crab legs
    • ¼ cup butter
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 1 ½ teaspoons dried parsley
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 1 lemon, juiced
    • 1 lime, juiced
    • Fresh parsley to garnish

    Method

    • Step-by-Step Method: King Crab Legs with Garlic Butter
    • Thaw the king crab legs overnight in the refrigerator if frozen
    • Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a gentle boil
    • Place crab legs in the pot and heat for 3–5 minutes until just warmed through
    • While crab is heating, melt butter gently in a saucepan over low heat
    • Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid browning
    • Mix dried parsley into the garlic butter, then remove from heat
    • Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice and lime juice, stirring to combine
    • Taste the garlic butter, then season with salt and pepper as needed
    • Drain the warmed crab legs and arrange them on a serving platter
    • Brush or drizzle the garlic butter generously over the crab legs
    • Sprinkle with additional fresh parsley for garnish
    • Plate with lemon and lime wedges on the side for extra brightness
    • Serve immediately while hot, providing crackers or scissors for easy access
    • Suggest pairing with a crisp white wine or light salad for balance
