PREPARATION:

1st Step

Prepare a temperature in your oven of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). This will guarantee that your crab legs are cooked through evenly and completely.

2nd Step

If your crab legs have been frozen, you will need to defrost them completely before using them. They should then be dried with a paper towel after being blotted with cold water.

3rd Step

Crack the shells of the crab legs using kitchen shears or a dedicated crab cracker. Do this very gently. The taste of the meat is improved as a result of the butter sauce being able to penetrate the flesh.

4th Step

To melt the butter, place it in a small pot and set the heat to low. After approximately a minute of sautéing, add garlic that has been minced, and continue cooking until the aroma is released. Take care to prevent the garlic from becoming brown.
