Instructions
Prepare the Steamer
In a large pot, add 2 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning. Place a steamer basket over the water and bring to a boil.
Steam the Crab Legs
Once the water is boiling, place the Alaskan king crab legs in the steamer basket. Cover the pot and steam for about 6-8 minutes, or until they are heated through.
Prepare the Lemon Butter
While the crab legs are steaming, melt 1 cup of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Squeeze the juice of 1 whole lemon into the melted butter and stir to combine.
