How to prepare King Crab Legs?

I had King Crab legs with hot butter at M.G.M. hotel in Las Vegas. I want to know how to prepare King Crab legs. Thanks|||They're very easy. If you buy them cold, steam them for about 6-8 minutes. If you get them frozen, steam them for about 12 minutes. I like a lemon-garlic butter when I make mine.|||2 lb. frozen cooked King crab legs, thawed %26amp; shelled


1/4 c. butter, melted


1 tbsp. mustard


1/4 lemon juice


1/4 c. dry wine


1/4 c. snipped parsley





Combine dry wine, butter, lemon juice, parsley, mustard and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Brush the mixture on crab meat. Place crab meat on grill about 3 to 4 inches from medium coals, brush the crab meat with the butter mixture and turn occasionally until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Makes 6 servings.|||Bring a large pot of water to a boil (the pot should be big enough that the crab legs can be immersed in the water). When the water reaches a boil, add a tablespoon of salt, then the crab legs. When water returns to a boil, lower the heat so that there is a very low boil. Cook the crab legs for about 6-8 minutes. Drain on newspaper. Serve with lots of melted butter.





If you like a little more spice, when you add the salt, you can also add garlic powder or other dried spice. However, I think this takes away from the mild but delicious crab flavor. But I know people who think it just isn't crab unless it has a heavy garlic flavor.
