Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Crab Legs

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the Alaskan King Crab legs and boil for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. If the crab legs are frozen, additional cooking time may be needed.

2

Prepare the Drawn Butter

In a small saucepan, gently melt the drawn butter over low heat. Be careful not to let it boil.

3

Serve

Remove the crab legs from the pot and drain. Place them on a serving platter. Cut the lemon in half and serve alongside the crab legs with the melted drawn butter for dipping.
