Steamed Snow Crab Legs
I know that many advocate using seasoning and boiling crab legs, but i like the simplicity of the naturally sweet and rich flavor of crab legs that have been steamed. using a two-piece pasta pot with the strainer portion as a steamer insert works well to perfectly steam crab legs. i always serve clarified butter for dipping the crab meat.
Steps
In a large pasta pot with strainer insert , bring 3-4 cups water to boil.
Rinse ice from frozen crab legs , and place in the strainer insert of the pot.
Cover.
Steam crab legs for 6 to 14 minutes , or until heated through.
Serve crab legs with clarified butter for dipping.
