Enjoy a delightful seafood experience with these steamed crab legs, served with a rich garlic butter sauce.
Fill a large pot with water, ensuring it doesn't reach the steamer insert, and bring it to a boil.
Adding a slice of lemon to the water can enhance the aroma of the steaming process.
Rinse the frozen crab legs under cold water to remove any ice.
Rinsing helps to ensure even cooking and removes any residual ice.
Place the crab legs in the steamer insert, cover the pot, and steam for 8-10 minutes until heated through.
Avoid overcooking to maintain the tender texture of the crab meat.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, then stir in the minced garlic and parsley.
Cook the garlic gently to avoid burning and to release its full flavor.
Serve the steamed crab legs on a platter with the garlic butter sauce on the side for dipping.
Garnish the platter with lemon wedges for an elegant presentation.
