don't feel dumb! i asked you if they were live crabs and you live in the mojave.
you can add some crab boil or whatever seasonings you wish to the water but let them boil a few minutes before you add the crab legs. you don't need to add any oil to the water.
if you want to stay away from the butter try different dips like wasabi, soy, hotsauces, or these
