Do you have a good king crab leg recipe?

My guy absolutely loves crab legs, so I want to prepare them for Valentine's Day. He likes his sort of no frills, so if you have any recipes you could share, that would be awesome!|||I'm sure he loves ur legs better than the crab's..get him to taste them lol...oooooohhhh nt dn hit me that hard|||Melt butter, beat in some lemon juice. Heat the cooked crab legs in the steamer or the microwave. Serve with tabasco on the side.





If he likes garlic, you may want to brown a little (or a lot) of chopped garlic in butter before adding the lemon juice.|||You can buy the legs already cooked from the better supermarkets, and melted butter is the only way to go!|||If you want to make something different .... spanish pincho's .... cook the crab legs take the meat of the crab and chop the meat.... mix it with cream cheese and add salt and black pepper to taste. Buy french bread and spread over .... it tastes really good|||there are some great recipies listed for you but NEVER and i mean NEVER MICROWAVE THEM!!!!|||Boil them in beer and then use a butter and lemon dipping sauce. Just add a few drops of lemon to your butter. Very flavourful.|||King Crab Legs

Garlic Crab Legs





INGREDIENTS


3 1/2 pounds Alaskan king crab legs with shell


6 ears fresh corn


1 1/2 cups butter


3 teaspoons minced garlic


1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes


1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning TM, or to taste








DIRECTIONS


In a very large stock pot, bring a large amount of water to boil. Place crab legs and corn in the pot of boiling water. Boil until the corn is tender, and the crab legs are opaque and flaky. The crab may finish cooking before the corn, check the corn and crab every 5 minutes to see if they are finished cooking. When finished cooking, drain well. Cut a slit into each of the crab leg shells to make it easier for your guests to get to the meat.


In a large saucepan, melt butter or margarine, garlic, red pepper, and Old Bay 鈩?seasoning. Stir in the crab and corn, and saute them for 5 to 10 minutes.
