Don't spend your money at specialty seafood restaurants when you're craving crab. Visit the grocery store and pick up a package of frozen crab legs. You will get more food for your money and be amazed at how easy they are to prepare. The crab is cooked and flash frozen when processed to keep it fresh, and whether the meat is frozen or thawed, it is prepared the same way. You can bake, boil, grill or microwave your crab legs.
Bake
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
