Preparation Steps
In a bowl, combine flour, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and paprika.
Dredge each crab leg in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place crab legs in the hot oil and fry for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
Remove crab legs from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
