Crab Legs with Garlic Butter Sauce image

I ended up getting some snow crab legs on sale at the market. I wanted something a little different from plain steamed, boiled, or grilled crab legs, so I ended up throwing a few things together to make this awesome crab leg dish. Enjoy! This would be great with shrimp as well.

I love that this recipe uses Old Bay seasoning. It gives the crab legs a delicious, Chesapeake Bay flavor.

The sauce was perfect for dipping the crab legs in. It was buttery and garlicky, with a hint of lemon.
