Directions:
Fill large stockpot or Dutch oven half full with water; add seafood seasoning and salt. Heat to boiling.
Add crab legs. Cook 3 to 5 minutes or just until heated. Remove with tongs to serving platter. Serve warm with melted butter.
Expert Tips:
Don't crowd the stockpot; cook the crab legs in batches.
Frozen crab legs are often precooked, so you're just reheating them in the boiling water. If that's the case be careful not to overcook them, as the meat will toughen and lose its delicate flavor.
Plan on 1 pound of crab legs per person. If you're entertaining, this recipe can easily be doubled or even tripled.
Add some finely chopped garlic to the melted butter for additional flavor.
Please note that some ingredients and brands may not be available in every store.
