Ingredients

5 lbs king crab legs

Instructions

Defrost your king crab legs if need be. You want to make sure it’s fully thawed before steaming them.
Boil water in a steamer. Once steamer is steaming, add king crab legs and let it cook for 7 minutes.
Remove from steamer and serve.

Notes

You can eat king crab legs by itself as it’s super sweet and don’t really need anything. Or, you can squeeze lemon on it, dip it in lemon juice with salt and black pepper, or dip it with clarified butter. My preferred version is to dip it with clarified butter.

See my clarified butter recipe for instructions on how to make that.
