Ingredients

3 lbs Crab Legs, frozen
1 can Beer, bottle or can
1/4 cup Old Bay, enough to make water appear "muddy"
1 Lemon
4 tsp Garlic, minced
1/2 cup Butter

Steps:

Crab LegsBring a large stock pot of water to a boil. It's best to only fill the stock pot about half way to allow for a rise in the water level when you add the crab legs. Add beer and enough Old Bay to give the water a "muddy" appearance. Boil crab legs for 10 minutes. Drain crab legs and place on a large platter or cookie sheet. Squeeze lemon juice over crab legs and sprinkle with Old Bay. ButterAdd about 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of butter to a ramekin for each person. Microwave ramekins in 20 second intervals, swirling in between, until the butter melts. Top with Old Bay if desired.
