Makes about 6 servings.|||I get mine shipped in from Alaska, frozen. When I want them I put them in a steamer basket over boiling water, with a lid, for about 12 minutes. Perfect.





For my dipping butter, I melt at least a stick of butter, juice of a lemon or two, with minced garlic and let that go to town while the crab legs steam. Best EVER.|||I use a bamboo steamer. I find a pan and put a few inches of water in it. Then I place the steamer on top. The crab legs always come out perfect!|||I wrap the legs up in wet paper towels and zap them for 2 - 2a half minutes.





Crack and dip in melted butter or margarine.|||Get a huge stockpot and half fill it with water and when it boils salt it down and drop the legs in for about six minutes or until they turn pink. yum!!|||i eat em raw
