Crab Legs

Coat a baking sheet with sides with olive oil cooking spray and place the crab legs on the sheet. Cover with foil and poke a hole in the top to allow the steam to exit.
Bake the frozen crab at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes. Serve with the Garlic Butter Sauce.

Microwave Corn on the Cob

I think the microwave does a great job in cooking tender and moist corn on the cob.

Ingredients

4 ears of corn, husks removed and washed
4 tablespoon butter, at room temperature
4 large sheets of waxed paper

Directions

Place an ear of corn on a sheet of waxed paper and spread 1 tablespoon of butter over the ear of corn. Wrap the corn in the paper, sealing the ends and top to form a package. Repeat the same process with the other three ears.
Cook in the microwave for 4 minutes on high. Turn the corn packages over and cook for 4 more minutes. Remove the corn packages to a serving bowl.
