- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange crab legs in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Pour about a cup of water or beer into the bottom of the pan and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 8-10 minutes—you will begin to smell them when done.
- Remove from oven, carefully fold back a corner of the foil to vent. Serve on a warmed platter and cover loosely with foil to keep it warm longer. Squeeze lemon wedges over crab when served. Dip crab into butter and swoon.
- For the garlic butter:
- Place butter and crushed garlic in a small oven-safe dish and slide into the oven with the crab legs on a separate rack (above or below doesn't matter). The butter should be melted when the crab is ready.
- Divide into smaller, individual ramekins or share the same dish for dipping.
