Ingredients

  • water
  • salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning plus more for garnish
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 pound snow crab legs
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges

Instructions

  • Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil. Add the salt and Old Bay seasoning and continue to boil.
  • Place the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. After about 1 minute the butter should begin to foam. Remove from the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes. Use a spoon to remove the milk solids floating on top. Discard the solids and pour the clarified butter into a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Add the crab legs to the boiling water and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for 5 to 6 minutes until fragrant.
  • Transfer the crab legs to a plate and serve sprinkled with additional Old Bay, lemon wedges, and clarified butter.
