How do you cook crab legs?

Answer 1

this recipe says it all lol yummmmm happy eating gurl!!

Answer 2

Most crab and crab legs come already cooked because they are difficult to keep alive and should not be eaten if they die, so they are boiled before they die. However, if you live in a place where they are fresh, the best method is again the simplest. Boil in sea water or water seasoned with sea salt. Some like to use a "boil" such as Zataarains or another brand. But I like the natural flavor and to keep it as simple as possible.

Makes me hungry to talk about it and here it is only 8:20 am, a little early but maybe...

To steam crab legs
Pour 2 cups of water in a steamer or a large pot, add 1 tablespoon of salt and bring to the boil.
Add the crab legs, placing them onto a rack in the bottom of the pan or into the steaming basket.
As the water starts to boil again, begin timing.
Steam the crab legs for between 5 - 7 minutes, until you can begin to smell their aroma and until they are warm. Take care not to overcook the legs as they have already been cooked once.
Remove from the heat and serve hot with melted butter and lemon wedges.
To boil crab legs
Half fill a large saucepan with cold water and add a tablespoon of sea salt and seasoning if you wish.
Bring the water to the boil and then drop the crab legs in.

Remove from the water and rinse the crab legs. Serve hot.
