(*-*)|||You can send some to me...hehe.|||You'll have to adapt the cooking process. I would separate the king crab legs into segments and use a large flat skillet to warm/fry them before pouring on the sauce. And then serve with a nice brown rice and simple stir fry of bean spouts, celery, snap peas and scallions.
