Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs King Crab Legs
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges

Instructions
 

  • Remove the crab legs from the packaging and break into sections at the joints.
  • Place the crab on a hot grill and heat until warm (10-15 minutes). You can also use a steamer or bake in a 350F oven.
  • Use scissors to open up the shell on the legs, remove the meat and serve with melted butter and lemon wedges.

Notes

King Crab legs that you find in grocery stores are already fully cooked.  This recipe is simply warming the crab up before serving with butter.  Some people will skip the warming step and will serve the crab meat cold as crab salad.
