I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of tequila, but I'm so glad I did. The tequila flavor is very subtle and it really complements the crab legs. The sauce is also incredibly rich and flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly and the crab legs turned out perfectly. The sauce was also delicious, but I found it to be a bit too rich for my taste. Next time, I'll try using less butter.
