SUPER easy and good! I used regular crab legs that I had in the freezer. I shortend the bake time to 15 minutes since they were much smaller in size to King Crab Legs. The butter ‘soaked’ through the shells! I used the leftover butter mixture for dipping-but hardly had to dip the crab. I forgot to baste and they turned out great anyway!! Thank you so much for the recipe!! 🙂 We will make this again!!
Should the crab legs be frozen or thawed?
The least you can do is have an accurate picture. Is this recipe for snow crab or did you just get the picture wrong.
So Good! Super easy. Only thing I didn’t have was the lemon so I used a lime. Highly recommend
Seafood night with my best friend. He loved them!
Simple and the flavour is much better than boiling
Recipe turned out perfectly. No changes were made to it. Yes, we well make it again.
I’ll never boil them again! These were fantastic. After I Poured the sauce over the crab I added a little beer to the pan, covered with tin foil and baked for about 15-20 minutes. Delicious!
This was amazing! Followed the recipe exactly and it was better than any king crab legs I’ve ordered in a restaurant. I won’t make them any other way than this from now on.

I injected them with the butter mix. No dipping sauce needed and they turned out great.
Used a Vietnamese “Dasavi” seafood sauce in place of recommended. Turned out GREAT!!!
I love this recipe. Enjoy every time!!
First time making this recipe. was very surprised and did not change a thing. next time cooking on the GAS BBQ, as I can control the heat. Great recipe, without a doubt,
Great
I love the baking technique, but will probably just do the sauce without the Old Bay next time. I have a feeling my Old Bay was stale, but overpowered the sauce for us. Overall, really nice change and made for an easy meal with easy cleanup.
If you look up crab legs with garlic butter sauce, that is a picture of king crab legs !!! Not the ones on this recipe .
This was the second time we made this and we love it. The marinade/sauce is excellent.
Made this for new years dinner. Turned out SO GOOD!! Wrapped it in tin foil and dowsed it in garlic butter mixture. I will definitely make this again
The whole family enjoyed this simple yet delicious recipe.
Super simple to make!!!! Absolutely amazing!!!!! I used this recipe for only 1 lb of crab so that the rest of the butter mixture was for dipping.
