CRAB LEGS WITH GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE RECIPE | ALLRECIPES

Crab Legs with Garlic Butter Sauce Recipe | Allrecipes image

I ended up getting some snow crab legs on sale at the market. I wanted something a little different from plain steamed, boiled, or grilled crab legs, so I ended up throwing a few things together to make this awesome crab leg dish. Enjoy! This would be great with shrimp as well.
