Precooked crab legs... what to do?

Question

I got some king crab legs from the butcher at the supermarket. He said that they are already cooked. They feel kind-a frozen. I put them in the fridge. How do I prepare them/heat them up? I am a vegetarian, these are for my fiance. I want them to be ready when he gets home instead of having to ask him what to do with them. Thanks!

Answer 1

Here's what I do: Fill an injector with seasoned, melted butter or a BBQ sauce that he likes. Inject the butter or sauce into the legs -- it's easy to do this at the joints. Place the legs on a grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning them once.

Answer 2

That's what we had for supper tonight: King Crab Legs and butter!

Rig up a steamer w/ the widest pot w/ a lid that you have. I use a wire cooling rack and wedge it in the pot, not touching bottom. Fill bottom w/ 2" hot water, arrange crab legs on the rack, cover w/ lid, and turn heat to high. Steam about 15 min.

We find kitchen shears (scissors) the best way to get into these spiky jokers!

Answer 3

Just steam them until they're heated through.
Most of the legs you get at the supermarket
are already cooked.

Answer 4

As the others have said, just steam them. Make some garlic butter to dip them in.

Answer 5

Steam until hot & serve with claryfied butter.....
