Steps:
- Stove, oven, or grill instructions: Combine the BUTTER and GARLIC in a heat-safe skillet. Place skillet next to the crab legs (for oven or grill method), or on a low heat setting on the stove until butter is melted.Microwave instructions: Combine the butter and garlic in a heat-safe bowl or microwave on HIGH for 1 minute, or until butter is melted.
- Place a trivet in the bottom of a large soup pot, stack CRAB LEGS on the trivet, and pour in 1 cup WATER.
- Turn stove burner to medium-high, cover the pot, and steam crab legs about 5 minutes, or until warmed through.
- Place a trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot, stack CRAB LEGS on the trivet, and pour in 1 cup WATER.
- Secure lid and turn pressure release valve to "Sealing".
- Select MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK and cook 0 minutes on LOW pressure (1 minute for frozen crab legs), followed by a 5 minute natural pressure release.*Note: there's no need to pressure cook crab legs any longer than this if you bought them pre-cooked, which is usually how they're sold.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place crab legs on a baking sheet and brush with OLIVE OIL. Set garlic butter skillet on the same baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until crab leg meat is warmed through.
- Preheat grill to MEDIUM-HIGH (about 400°F).
- Brush or spritz CRAB LEGS with olive oil, place on the grill with the garlic butter, and turn off center burner.
- Close the lid and grill the crab until warmed through (5-8 minutes).
- Just before serving, use kitchen sheers to cut open the soft, underside of each crab leg (making it easier for guests to open).
- Serve crab legs warm with melted GARLIC BUTTER, garnished with LEMON and PARSLEY.
- Allow crab legs to cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container up to 5 days.
