JesseEatzSucculent snow crab legs, tender baby potatoes, and sweet corn boiled in a fragrant spice-infused broth, served with a rich, citrusy garlic butter dipping sauce.
While the crab boils, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, then stir in the lemon juice.
Fill a large stockpot with water, add the Cajun seasoning and 1 tbsp lemon juice, and bring to a rolling boil.
Don't be afraid to season the water heavily; the shells protect the meat, so the water needs to be potent.
Add the baby potatoes to the pot and cook until they are nearly tender.
Add the halved corn ears to the boiling water.
Gently place the snow crab legs into the pot, ensuring they are submerged, and boil until heated through.
Most snow crab is sold pre-cooked and frozen, so you are really just reheating it and infusing it with flavor.
Drain the crab, potatoes, and corn. Serve immediately on a large platter with the garlic butter dip on the side.
