PERFECT BOILED CRAB LEGS RECIPE | MYRECIPES
Boiled crab legs are so easy to prepare at home, there’s no reason to get them at a restaurant for double the price. Most seafood markets or grocery store seafood sections carry pre-cooked, flash-frozen crab legs to maintain the best quality crab meat. All you have to do to get fresh, sweet, light, and tender crab legs is boil them for a few minutes. For an extra kick, add cajun seasoning or a spice mix like Old Bay to the boiling water instead of salt.

Steps:
- 1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 2.
Place crab legs on a rimmed baking sheet and water.
- 3.
Cover baking sheet with foil and crimp the sides to create a tight seal.
- 4.
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until heated through (145 degrees).
- 5.
Transfer to a platter and serve with melted butter for dipping and fresh lemon wedges.
- 6.
To eat, break the crab legs at the joints. Often, a crab leg will open up at the joint, allowing for easy removal of the meat.
- 7.
Turn the leg over to the smooth side and use kitchen shears to cut directly down the crab leg and simply open and remove the meat.
- 8.
After removing the meat from the long shafts of the shell, use your fork to pry the meat out of the main joint at the opposite end from the claw.
