OLD BAY KING CRAB LEGS



Old Bay King Crab Legs image

The classic seafood seasoning and lemon bring heat and brightness to sweet crab meat. The only way to improve it is with a dunk in drawn butter.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 pounds frozen cooked king crab legs
One 6-ounce box seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay, plus additional as needed
2 lemons
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Put the crab legs in the bottom of a large stockpot, then cover with 4 quarts of water and stir in the seafood seasoning (see Cook's Note). Halve the lemons and squeeze the juice into the pot, then add the rinds. Cover and bring to a boil, then cook over medium-high heat until the crab legs are warmed through, about 5 minutes. Remove the crab legs to a large serving bowl or platter.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until the butter foams and simmers, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and let stand 5 minutes. Using a spoon, remove any milk solids from the surface of the butter, then slowly pour the melted butter into a small serving bowl, leaving any watery, white whey behind in the saucepan. Serve alongside the crab legs.

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.).
