An easy crab legs recipe with a garlicky butter sauce that's ready in just 20 minutes! I ended up getting some snow crab legs on sale at the market. I wanted something a little different from plain steamed, boiled, or grilled crab legs, so I ended up throwing a few things together to make this awesome crab leg recipe. This dish would be great with shrimp as well.

Skillet Dinner Rolls
Simple, delicious and baked in a skillet!
Dill Pickle Cornbread Muffins
These dill pickle cornbread muffins are a new twist on a cornbread muffin. Don't worry, the dill pickle flavor will not overwhelm, but you'll taste its subtle essence. These muffins are delicious with a bowl of chili, but we also enjoy them simply with a pat of butter and a drizzle of hot honey. For a variation, try spicy hot dill pickles for an even bolder flavor.
