Costco King Crab Legs
You deserve a nice dinner! Costco King Crab can be the one for you, the only thing you need to do is get yourself a pack and follow these instructions!
Equipment
- steaming basket
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Costco King Crab Legs
- 2 tbsp Butter (melted)
- 2 wedges Lemon
Instructions
- Place the frozen king crab legs in a rimmed dish or platter to catch any drips as they thaw. Allow 8-12 hours for every 1-2 pounds of crab legs. Turn the legs over halfway through thawing.
- Once the legs have thawed, they're ready for steaming. So, prepare your steaming basket and a large enough pot with a lid.
- Start by bringing a few inches of water to a boil in the pot and placing the steamer basket in the pot. Make sure the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the basket.
- Arrange the crab legs in a single layer in the basket. Don’t overcrowd them.
- Cover and steam until the crab legs are heated through, about 5 to 7 minutes, after which you should carefully remove the steamer basket from the pot. The crab legs will be extremely hot!
- Use crab crackers and small forks to crack open the shell and extract the sweet meat. Don’t forget about the joints, which contain lots of delicious meat!
