Crab Legs with Garlic Butter Sauce image

STEAMED SNOW CRAB LEGS



Steamed Snow Crab Legs image

I know that many advocate using seasoning and boiling crab legs, but I like the simplicity of the naturally sweet and rich flavor of crab legs that have been steamed. Using a two-piece pasta pot with the strainer portion as a steamer insert works well to perfectly steam crab legs. I always serve clarified butter for dipping the crab meat.

Provided by Ms B.

Categories     Crab

Time 17m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

3 -4 cups water
2 lbs snow crab legs, frozen

Steps:

  • In a large pasta pot with strainer insert, bring 3-4 cups water to boil. (Water amount may vary, but just keep below the level of the strainer portion of the pot.).
  • Rinse ice from frozen crab legs, and place in the strainer insert of the pot. Cover.
  • Steam crab legs for 6 to 14 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Serve crab legs with clarified butter for dipping. (Recipe #51525 works well.).
