Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Baked King Crab Legs with Garlic Butter.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C), setting the stage for a delicious seafood feast.
Step 2
Next, take your crab legs and arrange them in a shallow baking pan, spreading them out evenly to ensure they cook perfectly.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, melt some butter over medium heat—this should take about three minutes.
Step 4
As the butter transforms into a golden liquid, whisk in your seafood seasoning, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and a splash of olive oil until everything is beautifully combined.
Step 5
Now comes the fun part! Grab a brush and generously coat the crab legs with your flavorful butter mixture, making sure every inch is covered.
Step 6
Don’t forget to pour any leftover mixture over the top for that extra burst of flavor.
Step 7
Place the pan in your preheated oven and let the crab legs bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until they turn a lovely opaque and flaky texture.
Step 8
For an added layer of deliciousness, remember to baste the crab legs with the buttery goodness from the pan every 10 minutes.
Step 9
This little step will elevate the flavor and keep them moist.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you anticipate a mouthwatering meal!.
