5 clear steps
Measure the ingredients before starting. Keep raw animal products separate from ready-to-eat ingredients.
Confirm the legs are already cooked. Thaw under refrigeration, drain and use kitchen shears to make serving easier. Heat water under a steamer rack until boiling.
Steam the legs, covered, for about 8–12 minutes or according to supplier directions until piping hot. Previously cooked refrigerated crab should reach 74°C / 165°F when reheated.
Melt butter in a small pan over low heat. Add garlic and stir for 1 minute without browning, then remove from the heat and add lemon juice and parsley.
Serve the hot legs with the garlic butter for dipping. Do not substitute raw legs and use the reheating time as a raw-crab cooking instruction.
