Butter-Baked Crab Legs: A Seafood Delight

Ingredients:
– 2 pounds of crab legs
– 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
– 1 tablespoon of garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 lemon, cut into wedges
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: Old Bay seasoning or your favorite seafood seasoning
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
2. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sautΓ© for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
3. Stir in the chopped parsley and a pinch of salt and pepper. If you like it spicy, add Old Bay seasoning or your preferred seafood seasoning.
4. Place the crab legs in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Drizzle the garlic butter mixture generously over the crab legs.
5. Cover the baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil to trap the steam, which helps to cook the crab legs.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and fragrant.
7. Remove from the oven, discard the foil, and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for that zesty finish.
