How many lbs of king crab legs do I need for 3 adults?

and what would be a couple of good side dishes to go along with them?|||i usually do 3/4 lb to 1 1/2 lbs per person.





also use dish rags instead of napkins...





sides:


I would stick to sides you can also eat with your hands..since so much cleanup would be involved to switch to eat a side from the crab.





corn bread





do the boil for crab with just the corn, sausage and red potatoes.





french bread, cut into slices put a small plate out with olive oil and equal parts of: salt, pepper, oregano, rosemary,thyme,parsley,sage(or just use italian seasoning.)





cole slaw can be good, but again that darn fork issue...!|||A good rule of thumb on the serving size per person is 1 pound of in the shell king crab. Another thing to remember when trying to figure out the servings is who you are serving and the type of meal or party you are having. King crab served at a cocktail party as finger food will require less per person, probably around 1/2 pound.





If you are serving crab as an all you can eat dinner, I would suggest at least 2 pounds per person. If you have some really big crab eaters this may have to go even higher.

Preheat gas or prepare charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Arrange frozen crab legs in disposable foil pan; drizzle with olive oil. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil, sealing edges.

Serve with potatoes, leeks and carrots.|||5 pounds. To reheat the crab. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap. A couple of legs together in each bundle. Microwave for 4 to 5 minutes if already thawed.





Remember: King Crab is an already cooked product when it is sold to you, so all that needs to happen is reheating after thawing. That is why the microwave is perfect for this chore.








Drawn Butter.





Ceaser Salad or Macaroni salad with shrimp.





Garlic Bread





Coconut ice cream and Brownies with Macadamia nuts for dessert.





Lots of napkins.|||At least 5-6 lbs, since half of the weight is shell. Corn on the cob and coleslaw would be a classic, but a green salad and double-baked potatoes would be good too|||butter goes good so does ketchup ranch goes with EVERYTHING TO
