• ▢ 2 tbsp Old Bay or any seafood blend.
• ▢ 4 tbsp Butter

For serving

• ▢ Lemon Wedges
• ▢ Parsley minced

• Rinse the crab legs under cold water and pat dry.
• Prep a large pot by adding just enough water to touch the bottom of a steamer basket.
• Place the pot of cold water over low heat, just to bring the water to a gentle simmer.
• Meanwhile, place the crab legs in the steamer basket and sprinkle liberally with the Old Bay spice blend.
• Set the basket with the crab legs over the simmering water and cover, leaving a small gap for steam to escape.
• Steam the Dungeness crab for 7 to 10 minutes, just to reheat.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small sauce pan over low heat.
• Carefully transfer the crab legs to a serving platter and brush the meat of the body with melted butter.
