Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the crab legs

    Thaw the king crab legs if they are frozen. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Prepare the aromatics

    Slice the fresh ginger and chop the scallions. Set them aside for later use.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the crab legs

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the thawed king crab legs and cook for 5-7 minutes until heated through. Remove and drain.

  2. 4

    Make the sauce

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the sliced ginger, soy sauce, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and ground black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  3. 5

    Combine

    Add the cooked crab legs to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat the crab legs evenly with the sauce, and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

Serving
