STEP 1: In a shallow dish, place the frog legs and cover them with milk for 20 minutes. This helps to thaw them.
STEP 2: After this time, drain the legs and gently pat them dry with paper towels to remove the excess milk.
STEP 3: In a frying pan, melt 50 g of butter over low heat, then add minced garlic and chopped parsley.
STEP 4: Incorporate the frog legs into the pan, ensuring they are well coated with the parsley mixture, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes.
STEP 5: Turn the legs halfway through cooking to ensure they brown evenly on both sides.
STEP 6: Serve hot, adding a little more fresh parsley for decoration, if desired.
