1
Boil the Water
In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning to the water for flavor.
2
Add the Crab Legs
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the Alaskan King Crab Legs to the pot. Make sure they are fully submerged.
3
Cooking Time
Boil the crab legs for about 5-7 minutes. If they are frozen, you may need to add an additional 3-5 minutes to the cooking time.
4
Drain and Serve
Once the crab legs are cooked, carefully remove them from the pot and drain. Serve with lemon wedges and melted drawn butter for dipping.
