In a pot of boiling water, add the peeled and deveined shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Drain and cool in ice water.
Prepare the King Crab
If using frozen Alaskan king crab, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight. Once thawed, use kitchen shears to cut the shells and extract the meat.
