I have made this with and without the corn, both are awesome. I DID cook the corn with the crab and it did not pick-up the crab/seafood flavor others were worried about, not once it goes into the butter mixture. This is the only way i make crab now, sooo good, thanks Robyn for sharing.

this was pretty simple to make, but it was very messy. i followed the advice of some other folks and cooked the corn in its own pot. the sauce was excellent, but did not flavor the crab legs very much when i sauteed them. I think the problem was that the biggest pan i had was still not big enough to have the crab legs in a single layer. i tried to rotate them, but it was difficult to do so. i probably should have used two pans, but in any case. I think this would be fine without sauteeing and just using a sauce as a dipping sauce. note on the dipping sauce. i did use more old bay, red pepper, and garlic to give it more of a zing...

I used three teaspoons of Old Bay Seasoning accidently and it was a smash hit! Also, I used only a pinch of crushed red pepper, since my wife doesn't like spicy food. I didn't add the corn, although, I may try that the next time. I was complimented all night on the Garlic Crab Legs.

Awesome! First attempt at crab legs was a total success thanks to this recipe. I read many of the reviews and made adjustments. I cooked the corn separate but, it was more of a space issue and it worked out well that way. I also added more Old Bay Seasoning as others had suggested. The legs and corn turned out soooo good. I separated some of the sauce before I sauted the corn and legs and saved it for dipping which everyone loved! Thank you for sharing Robyn!

Thank you for sharing! I did not use corn because it is out of season right now but the meat was still amazingly flavorful. Also, I used Pappy's Seafood Seasoning because I did not have Old Bay on hand. Wow. I will definitely use this recipe again. I was surprised by the simplicity of the recipe and disappointed that many restaurants don't take the extra step to transform their crab meat from good to phenomenal. Thanks again!

We made this recipe for New Year's Eve and they were a huge hit. Super easy recipe and really, really good. I followed the recipe exactly as stated but skipped the corn and used snow crab because it's sweeter. I would definitely recommend this recipe!

This was really good. Like most reviewers I added more Old Bay than called for, and actually I kinda just eyeballed the garlic. I was worried that the flavor would not really penetrate through the shell, but it did! If you like garlic and you like crab legs, then this is a wonderful dish. Also, for all anyone that might not be aware, Old Bay contains salt (celery salt), so that is why this recipe doesn't call for any salt. While I was making this recipe my sister suggested adding salt until I explained to her that it was already included. Enjoy!
