- 1 pound crab legs
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 lemons cut in half
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic minced
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Place the crab legs on a rimmed baking sheet, then brush with olive oil. Place the lemon halves around the crab and bake for 25 minutes.
Add the butter and garlic to a small skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat, until the butter is fully melted and the garlic is browned.
Squeeze the baked lemons over the crab, then crack the crab to remove the meat and dip it in the garlic butter.
