Steamed Dungeness crab legs tossed in a flavorful garlic butter sauce that takes less than 20 minutes to make. A simple, yet satisfying way to enjoy fresh crab legs.
You can use whatever crab legs that are available to you, such as snow crab, king crab, or Dungeness crab. These tasty buttery crab legs are paired nicely with garlic rice, a simple but delicious salad, and some freshly baked bread.
I served the crab legs with lots of extra garlic butter (for dipping); and lemon wedges on the side.

An easy crab legs recipe with a garlicky butter sauce that's ready in just 20 minutes! 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 recipe. This dish would be great with shrimp as well. Enjoy!
