King crab leg scampi is one of my favorite dishes. I made it for my wife a year ago on Valentine’s Day because we were unable to go out due to our crazy schedules. Trust me when I say this, we were happier staying in and savoring these instead of eating out. The flavor is buttery, garlicky and incredibly tasty.
