Preparation

Preparation of King Crab

1. Prepare the Water

In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add in 2 tablespoons of salt to the boiling water.

2. Add the Crab Legs

Once the water is boiling, carefully add the King Crab legs to the pot. Make sure they are submerged.

3. Cook the Crab

Allow the crab legs to cook for about 6-8 minutes or until heated through. Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness.

In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat until fully melted.

Finely mince 4 cloves of garlic and add them to the melted butter. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but do not let the garlic brown.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.

8. Finish with Parsley

Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley for added flavor and garnish.
