Cover the pot and allow it to boil for about 10 minutes.

In a skillet, add about 2 sticks of unsalted butter and melt it.

Once the butter is melted, add finely chopped onions and minced garlic.

Cook the onions and garlic for about 30 seconds.

Add all the seasonings to the skillet and pour in some chicken broth to dilute the butter.

Add hot sauce to the mixture and stir.

Let the sauce simmer on low for about 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove the crab legs from the boiling water.

Use kitchen shears to cut the crab and remove the meat.

Plate the crab and pour the seafood boil sauce over it.

Garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley.
