INGREDIENTS
8 ounces Crab Legs (227g)
1.5 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (21g)
1/2 Lemon
2 Garlic cloves
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
Pinch Salt
PREPARATION
Fill a large pot with about an inch of water and bring it to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Place a steamer basket in the pot, ensuring the water does not touch the bottom of the basket.
Arrange the crab legs in the steamer basket, cover with a lid, and steam for 6-8 minutes until the crab legs are heated through.
While the crab legs are steaming, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and stir well.
Remove the butter sauce from heat and stir in a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
Drizzle the warm lemon-garlic butter over the steamed crab legs and serve immediately.
