Method
Crab Preparation
Prepare the Crab
Fill a large pot with water and add a tablespoon of sea salt. Bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, carefully add the Alaskan King Crab legs and boil for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. Remove the crab legs and place them in an ice bath to stop cooking.
Extract Meat
Once cooled, crack open the crab legs using a crab mallet or a nutcracker. Carefully extract the crab meat and set it aside.
Garnish
Finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside. Cut the lemon into wedges.
Cocktail Sauce Preparation
Mix the Sauce
In a medium bowl, combine ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Serving
Assemble the Cocktail
Arrange the crab meat on a serving platter. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges and the cocktail sauce on the side.
