LOOKING FOR A KING CRAB LEGS RECIPE SIMPLE AND WANT TO BOIL?

I am looking for a recipe for tonight's meal. I am boiling King Crab Legs, any suggestions or a recipe to add some taste.





Thank you...|||mix a teaspoon of butter or margarine


a pes size amount of balsamic vinegar


and season to your liking and eat it right out of the shell.|||The sauce and relish sound delish. Haven't done it but plan to. I also always add sea salt to my boiling water. Sliced lemons look nice on the plate, too. The link below tells you how long to cook them.





Steamed King Crab





Ingredients:





1-1/2 lbs King Crab Legs, split


melted Butter or Margarine


Spicy Tomato Relish


Shallot Cream Sauce








Directions:





Cut king crab into serving sized pieces; steam on rack over 3/4 inch boiling water 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve with melted butter, spicy tomato relish or shallot cream sauce. Makes 4 servings.





Microwave Method: In 10 inch round or 8 x 8 x 2 inch microwave proof dish, microwave split king crab legs on high 2 to 2-1/2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Rotate dish 1/4 turn every minute.








Spicy Tomato Relish:


In food processor or blender finely chop 1/2 cup coarsely chopped tomato, 2 tablespoons catsup, 2 tablespoons each coarsely chopped celery and green pepper; 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped onion, 1 teaspoon coarsely chopped parsley, 1/8 teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce and dash garlic salt. Do not pur茅e mixture. Makes 3/4 cup.





Shallot Cream Sauce:


Saut茅 3 tablespoons minced shallots or onion in 1 tablespoon butter or margarine until softened. Stir in 1 tablespoon flour and 1/8 teaspoon each crushed dill weed and pepper. Cook and stir about 1 minute. Blend in 1/2 cup dairy sour cream; salt to taste. Makes about 1/2 cup.|||Most of the King Crab legs that are obtained are already cooked when you purchase them. All you have to do is heat them up. I would steam them so they don't get soggy.


I would keep it simple. A few dipping sauces. Boiled red potatoes and some cold slaw for sides and you got a great dinner. If you want to break them up and do some chopping some crab cakes would be good, but as much as I love crab cakes, why break apart nice crab legs for that!


Enjoy!|||Cut them open and either squeeze on some lemon or dip in some melted butter. Nothing more. You don't want to cover up that delicious crab in ANY way. Enjoy, and I'm so jealous:)





They are already pre-cooked, if they're red. Most are. All you have to do is heat them up in plain water. Just bring it to a boil and pop them in until the shell is kinda soft. It takes like a minute give or take.|||don't boil, steam.





wrap legs in soaking wet paper towel, then wrap in plastic wrap.


nuke on high for 10 minutes.
