  1. Cut a slit, length-wise, into the shell of each piece of crab.

  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, cook the garlic in the butter until translucent, stir in the parsley, salt, and pepper. Continue to heat mixture until bubbling. Add the crab legs, toss to coat, allow to simmer in the butter mixture until completely heated, 5 to 6 minutes.

Recipe Note

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.
