Crabs - Garlic Butter Baked Crab Legs

I have tried and tried again to re-create the garlic butter crab legs that taste like the crabs from my favorite crab joint-The Crab House on Pier 39 in San Francisco. I have finally done it!

  1. Absolutely amazing! My wife was all against baking them over boiling so I split the legs and boiled some and baked some. She wouldn't even stop eating the baked ones to try the boiled ones. Now it's her favorite way to have them. Amazing recipe.

  3. I have made at least ten trays since coming across your recipe! My friends have always said I was nuts for baking over steaming but soon change there mind after tasting these. Thank you for posting your recipe these are my new favorite for sure!

  5. This recipe is fantastic!!! I will admit I was a little skepital on baking instead of steaming. But these turned out perfect. We made it with snow crab legs and the 25 min. was spot on. I also love the butter sauce. It was the perfect blend of garlic, butter and citrus. I will be adding this to our family recipe file as our go to crab leg recipe. Thanks for sharing!!
     
  6. First time I have done crab legs in the oven. They turned out so delicious that we didn't even have to dip them in the butter. Everyone loved them. They were so easy to do. I will definitely be doing them this way from now on.
     
  7. I didn't believe the unanimous 5 star rating for this recipe. After making this for dinner tonight.... I'm a believer!!! It is perfect as is. I will never boil crab legs again.
