Ingredients

  • 5 clusters of snow crab legs
  • ½ stick butter melted
  • 1-2 tablespoons seasoning
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges

Instructions

Boiled Crab Legs

  • To boil snow crab legs, fill a large pot with water, seasoning and salt. Bring the water to a boil and then add the snow crab legs. Boil the legs for 3-5 minutes or until they are cooked through. Remove from the pot with tongs.

Baked Crab Legs

  • To bake snow crab legs, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the snow crab legs on a baking sheet and brush them with melted butter. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until they are cooked through.

Steamed Crab Legs

  • To steam snow crab legs, fill a large pot with water and insert a steamer basket. Add the snow crab legs to the basket and cover the pot with a lid. Steam for 5-7 minutes or until they are cooked through. Remove the lid carefully as steam will escape when you do so.
