Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Baked Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the potatoes thoroughly, prick them with a fork, and wrap them in aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes or until tender.

  2. 2

    Cook the Alaskan King Crab Legs

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the pre-split Alaskan King Crab Legs to the boiling water and cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. If you prefer, you can also steam them for 6-8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Drawn Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until it is fully liquid. Keep warm until ready to serve.

  4. 4

    Prepare the House Vegetable

    Steam or sauté your choice of house vegetable (like asparagus, green beans, or broccoli) until tender but still vibrant in color, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Place the baked potatoes on a plate, add the cooked crab legs, and serve with drawn butter and the house vegetable on the side.
