1

Preheat the oven

Let's start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your crab legs cook to perfection.

2

Prepare the crab legs

Place your crab legs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. This will make cleanup a breeze and prevent the crab legs from sticking to the pan.

3

Add the flavor magic

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and the juice of 1 lemon. Mix it all together for a truly magical flavor explosion.

4

Brush it up

Using a pastry brush or a spoon, generously brush the garlic and lemon mixture all over the crab legs. Make sure each leg gets a good coating of the deliciousness.

5

Seal the deal

Tightly wrap the crab legs with the aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet. This will help steam the legs and lock in all the incredible flavors.

6

Bake and be patient

Place the foil packet of crab legs in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Use this time to relax, dance like a crab, or fantasize about how amazing your kitchen will smell.

7

Unwrap and enjoy

Carefully remove the foil packet from the oven and unwrap it. Be cautious as the steam will be hot! Transfer the crab legs to a serving platter, garnish with fresh lemon slices, and get ready to indulge in a seafood feast!
