1. Thanks for posting such a great recipe for Crab Legs. We use Old Bay Seasoning and some Cajun seasonings on the outside of the legs. This flavors the crab meat wonderfully without overpowering the meat. My family uses individual pairs of scissors to cut some of the leg portions open. It makes eating them less messy. Even my young Grandchildren will eat these easily prepared favorites.   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Major K. Reply 7
2. We're done our crab legs like this for years and it truly is the easiest and tastiest way to cook them. Don't have to deal with pots of smelly water or your cooked crab swimming in a dinner plate of water, either. Works just the same if you broil them in your oven, too. Keep that oven door cracked open, though. Keeps the broiler element on. Thanks, Molly53!!   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Sushicue Reply 5
3. Very good, I recommend using olive oil and old bay's dry rub...delish!!!   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal RJKo4861 Reply 3
4. Great recipe! Just make sure you don't leave them on for more than five minutes because I got distracted and burnt the thin ends pretty badly. Can't wait to make them again and not screw up. Thank you.   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Katanashrp Reply 2
5. We followed your recipe with the addition of Creole Seasoning and Emeril's Essence. Thanks for the suggestion!   icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal Joe N. Reply
