Crab Legs

Method

Preparing Crab Legs

  1. 1

    Boil the Crab Legs

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

  2. 2

    Add the Crab Legs

    Once the water is boiling, carefully add the 2 pounds of king crab legs to the pot. Ensure they are submerged.

  3. 3

    Cook the Crab Legs

    Cover the pot and cook the crab legs for about 5-7 minutes. They are pre-cooked, so you just need to heat them through.

  4. 4

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, carefully remove the crab legs from the pot and drain. Serve hot with the house special sauce.

Making the House Special Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of chili sauce, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.

  2. 6

    Add Spices

    Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.

  3. 7

    Adjust Flavor

    Taste the sauce and add hot sauce to taste, mixing until fully combined.

  4. 8

    Chill the Sauce

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
