Main Ingredients

For Grilling (Optional)

Method

Preparation for Boiling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Boiling Water

    In a large pot, add 4 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Add the Crab Legs

    Once the water is boiling, carefully add the 1 lb of Alaskan King Crab Legs to the pot. Cover the pot with a lid.

  3. 3

    Boil the Crab Legs

    Boil the crab legs for about 5-7 minutes. They are already cooked, so you just need to heat them through.

  4. 4

    Remove and Serve

    Using tongs, carefully remove the crab legs from the pot and let them drain. Serve immediately with melted butter or lemon wedges.

Preparation for Grilling

  1. 5

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Crab Legs

    In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Brush this mixture onto the crab legs.

  3. 7

    Grill the Crab Legs

    Place the crab legs directly on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are heated through and have grill marks.

  4. 8

    Remove and Serve

    Remove the crab legs from the grill and serve them with lemon wedges and melted butter.
