Notes
Fresh or frozen? While the garlic and lemon should be fresh, the crab legs are fine flash frozen (unless you can deal with a huge live crab!)
Grab your tools: Don't forget the shellfish crackers for opening the crab legs, and don't forget the napkins either!
Reheating them: Heat crab legs until they're quite warm but not piping hot, or else you risk them drying out.
