Preparation

Step 1

1 Fill a large pot halfway with water, add oil and bring to a boil.

2 Crush all of the unpeeled garlic cloves with a mallet and add to boiling water along with parsley flakes.

3 Boil for 15 minutes.

4 While that is boiling, cut the crab legs in half so they will fit into the pot.

5 The recipe also calls for poking holes in the crab legs with the back of a wooden spoon so the juices all seep in but I like to slit my legs down one side so there is no work when it is time to eat them. To me that seems to do the same thing.

6 Lower crab legs into the pot and cook for 5-6 minutes.

7 Remove crab legs and drain.

8 Serve with melted butter on the side. yum!
