Once your Holy Crab Delivery has arrived at your doorstep, the following steps will help prepare your next feast.
First, place your King Crab Legs in your fridge and leave
them there overnight. This will help ensure that the meat defrosts in a
timely and natural manner.
Our fisherman, once sourced in their fishing boats, made
sure to cook & glaze the crab legs immediately upon their return to
the docks. This is essential to help preserve the freshness and
succulent taste. In other words, you won’t have to take too much time
prepping your legs for your next get-together.
Naturally, there isn’t a one size fits all approach to how
to enjoy King Crab Legs. So here, we’ll give you the most popular ways
to prep your legs.
Grilled:
Grilling might be the best approach if you do not want to
initially break off the legs before plating. Either way, it sure is a
fun process!
Firstly, add a decent amount of olive oil to the Crab Legs. This will help prevent them from getting too sticky on the grill.
Crack up your grill to about 300° F. Place them over the
grill for about 5 minutes. Then, flip them for another 5 minutes. Remove
them from the grill, get your garlic butter for a great dipping
experience, plate and enjoy.
Steamed:
Grab a pot and fill it up with about 2-3 cups of water and a Salt-Bae-like amount of salt.
Bring the water to a boil. Depending on the size of your pot, you may have to break up the legs into smaller portions.
Cover the pot with a lid and allow 7-10 minutes for the
legs to heat up. Feel free to use the eye-ball test. If you think the
legs are completely heated, feel free to take them out sooner.
King Crab Legs are delicious when accompanied with lemon wedges sprinkled over the meat and dipped in garlic butter.
Boiled:
Fill up a large pot with water. Cut up some lemon slices
and grab a “Salt-Bae” amount of salt and sprinkle them all in the pot.
Bring the water to a boil.
Once the water has reached its boiling point, place the
king crab legs along with the lemon slices into the pot. Depending on
the size of your pot, you may have to break off the legs so that they
fit.
Once in, turn down the heat of the water to about medium temperature on your stove and allow them to sit for about 4-6 minutes.
Remove them from the pot, plate, and enjoy!
