Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Legs

    Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the king crab legs to the boiling water and cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. Remove from water and let cool slightly, then split the legs to expose the meat.

  2. 2

    Make the Garlic Mashed Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. In a separate pan, melt the butter and add minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the garlic butter to the potatoes along with milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Drawn Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until fully melted and slightly bubbling. Keep warm for serving.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Plate the split crab legs alongside the garlic mashed potatoes. Drizzle with drawn butter and garnish with chopped chives if desired.
