Ingredients
2 pounds crab legs
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter Melted.
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice This was the juice of half a lemon for me.
2 teaspoons finely chopped parsley
6 garlic cloves Minced; adjust to your taste. I love immense garlic flavor.
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning optional, can also use salt and pepper to taste.
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
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.

I'm so glad to hear it!

First off- your arms in this video!!! 😍😍😍 Second- I personally love this method!!!

[@staysnatched]

haha thank you!

[@cofee28]

Snow crab is much sweeter than king. But it is all great !

[@jrock28]

Did you add anything to your dipping butter?

[@jaim6580]

Why are we wasting butter on the shells? Does it penetrate through? Does it even reach the meat??

[@staysnatched]

Why would I do it if it didn't?!?

[@jaim6580]

@@staysnatched ​ That is why I asked the question. I was not aware that there were holes in the shell that allowed for the butter to seep in. I found that out by doing my Own research. That would of been the proper way to answer an innocent question instead of your passive aggressive answer. I was not attacking you by asking a simple question. Maybe don’t post videos if you don’t like being questioned about it. Simple.

[@staysnatched]

@@jaim6580 Your question was passive-aggressive, by stating I was wasting butter. You could have simply asked does the butter reach the meat. Put out the energy you want to receive back.

[@jaim6580]

@@staysnatched I apologize if I came across that way. It was not my intent. I can see where it may come across that way. Thank you for responding. I will continue watching your videos.

Salted or non salted butter

[@jessicastutts5410]

Are these frozen? Or thawed? And can you cook them in the oven either way or do they need to be one or the other? Thank you!

[@staysnatched]

I don't cook them frozen. I've never tried it.

[@Cowboy_sasuke]

If you have frozen crab legs you should let them thaw overnight (8hours) before cooking them. I would recommend thawing them before attempting this. That’s what I’m gonna do lol

[@elbob17]

@@Cowboy_sasuke It makes no difference.

[@iPITTSBURGH412]

Were the legs thawed ?

[@staysnatched]

yep

[@user-zd2ro7du4k]

How do you make crack juice for seafood

[@staysnatched]

no clue

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

OK, this is last year but the question is still good. Are those crab legs pre-cooked? I don't get the big legs, just whole Dungeness crabs and they are whole. Store-bought, they are all pre-cooked. When I catch my own it can go either way. I can simply kill then then split them in half or most the time I boil or steam them. The reason for asking is the bake time. 20 min at 400 would turn the pre-cooked into mush meat. This sounds too good not to try!!

[@keithnewton1780]

King crab is the best hands down

[@staysnatched]

I LOVE king crab! Mostly for the size, but they taste a lot different. But I love them both. I don't discriminate.

[@robsterlobsterr]

Snow crabs never had enough meat 💔

[@staysnatched]

King crab has a lot more! This method works the same.
