Butter-Baked Crab Legs: A Seafood Delight

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Crab Legs:

Rinse the crab legs under cold water to remove any debris. If using frozen crab legs, thaw them beforehand by placing them in the refrigerator overnight or running them under cold water for a few minutes.
Using kitchen shears, cut through the crab leg shells to make it easier to eat later. You can make a small slit along the length of the shell.
Make the Butter Sauce:

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Coat the Crab Legs:

Place the crab legs on the prepared baking sheet. Using a brush, generously coat the crab legs with the butter mixture, making sure to cover each leg thoroughly.
Bake the Crab Legs:

Cover the baking sheet loosely with aluminum foil to help steam the crab legs. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crab legs are heated through and the butter has infused the meat.
Serve and Enjoy:

Once the crab legs are done, remove them from the oven. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
