We simply love the pairing of warm melted butter with a fresh squeeze of lemon with our crab legs. You don’t need any special equipment to cut into them either. Armed with a good pair of kitchen shears, all you have to do is crack the legs at the joint, pull them apart and cut along the open end. This releases the leg as a whole piece and you are left with a moist succulent piece of meat to enjoy.
