Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the King Crab

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the Norwegian king crab legs and cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. If using frozen crab, you may need to increase the time slightly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Drawn Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until fully melted. Keep warm.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cocktail Sauce

    If desired, mix the cocktail sauce with a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the crab legs from the pot and place them on a serving platter. Serve with cocktail sauce, drawn butter, and lemon wedges on the side.
