Baked Crab Legs in Butter Sauce

Step 6: Broil for Bonus Flavor (Optional)

Remove the foil and broil for 2–3 minutes to get a little caramelization on top. Watch closely to avoid burning the garlic.

🧄 Serving Suggestions

Serve hot with:

• Crusty bread (to soak up the butter sauce)
• Steamed corn or roasted potatoes
• A simple green salad
• Extra lemon wedges and melted butter on the side

Don’t forget crab crackers or kitchen shears to help get every last bite!

📝 Tips for Success

• Use thawed crab legs if frozen—run under cold water or thaw in the fridge overnight.
• Don’t skip the foil—it traps heat and steam, keeping the crab tender.
• Double the sauce if you love dipping or serving with bread. You’ll want more. Trust us.
