Alaskan King Crab Legs
King crab legs are a New Year's Eve tradition for us. Anybody who has ever
had these knows how succulent and tender the crab meat in these legs are.
They're a tad expensive, which makes them great for an annual meal. We
serve roasted potatoes, sauteed spinach, crudite and "cheesies".

Ingredients
- 3 pounds crab legs
- 1 stick butter
- 1/2 clove garlic (crushed)
- salt
- 1/2 lemon (squeezed)
Instructions
We begin by pre-heating the oven to 400 degrees. In a small pot we melt the butter with the garlic and a pinch of salt over low heat. We then add the lemon juice and keep the pot on very low heat.
In a 9 by 13 inch baking pan, we put the frozen crab legs and brush them with the melted butter-lemon juice mix. We put the pan carefully in the oven, the legs are BIG, and bake for about 30 minutes brushing occasionally with the butter mixture. We want the crab legs to be heated through. We serve the legs with the remaining butter for dipping.
