Classic Steamed King Crab
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds King Crab Legs & Claws
- 1 stick butter
- lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Melt butter in a small pan and keep warm.
- Set a steamer tray inside a large pot and pour enough water inside to steam the crab. (Remember, you are only reheating the crab, so you will only need about an inch of water).
- Bring water to a boil, then lay the crab legs & claws on the steamer. Cover the pot and steam for 5 minutes.
- Remove the crab legs & claws and use kitchen shears to cut the shells. (You can either totally remove the meat from the shell or just get each one started for your guests).
- Serve with melted butter.
