How to cook deliciously - How To Cook Crab Legs

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, combine butter, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, mustard seeds, allspice, and 1/4 cup seasoning mix. Layer crab legs in a 13"-by-9" pan. Generously brush with butter mixture, concentrating on clusters of meat.

2. Stage

Tightly cover pan with foil and bake until heated through and steaming, about 15 minutes. If crab legs are frozen, bake about 10 minutes more.

3. Stage

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. In a small bowl, combine butter, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, mustard seeds, allspice, and 1/4 cup seasoning mix. Layer crab legs on a large sheet of foil. Generously brush with butter mixture, concentrating on clusters of meat. Pinch long sides of foil together to create a tight seal. Fold each side in, sealing any remaining gaps. Pay close attention to tips of legs to ensure that they don't poke through foil and cause leakage.

4. Stage

Close lid on grill and grill foil packets until legs are heated through and steaming and shells are a bright orange-y red color, about 10 minutes. If crab legs are frozen, grill about 5 minutes more.
