Lick Your Fingers Beer, Butter & Garlic Crab Legs

by Utokia Langley

Many of us have this tiny little shop where you have bought some of the most amazing and flavorful foods ever!  You know that place you only know about because you stumbled across it one day and decided to try them out!  Well there was a tiny seafood shop in Langley Park Maryland that sold buckets of butter and garlic crabs.  They would steam the crabs, cut them in half and then drench them in this butter and garlic sauce WOW!  My mother and I used to get these almost every weekend!  There was always left over butter and garlic sauce at the bottom of the bucket, for which we shamelessly swooped up with our fingers and licked our fingers until all the sauce was gone, WHEW, it was so good!

Since then the little seafood shop has closed down but I wasn’t ready to give up that euphoric experience!  So I did what I do best, I started thinking of how I could replicate and improve the recipe.  I decided to use crab legs because my husband and I love them.  I started day dreaming about the flavors from the little seafood shop and began to write down the ingredients I thought was in the butter and garlic sauce.  After three tries let me just say BAM, POW KABOOM!  I did it again baby!  If you love crab, be them whole or the legs, try this recipe you will absolutely love love love it!!!!!!  Hope you enjoy these crab legs as much as my husband and I have.  Please do not forget to LIKE my FB FAN (click here) page on my HOME PAGE (click here) and SUBSCRIBE (click here) to my blog to receive these fantastic recipes via email.  AND let us not forget about TWITTER (click here)!

You mention that these are steamed. Maybe I missed something but I don’t see where you discuss using a steaming basket or covering the pot for steaming them. They look delicious and want mine to turn out as good as yours look! If you could clarify I would certainly appreciate it.

Hi Melissa, yes it is steamed and directions do say to cover, that is after the liquid comes to a boil … have fun and enjoy

First the clusters and then the jumbo white shrimp after removing the clusters. Thank you for the recipe.
Just in case you are wondering, the side dish is North Atlantic Sea Scallops wrapped in bacon.
The pie is mango/key lime.

When this technology initial arrived out it price anyplace in between $200 to $400 bucks! These days, if you saw someone with this kind of technologies, you would think to yourself, “what it wrong with that individual”?
