Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pot

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of Old Bay seasoning to the water.

    Add the Crab Legs

    Once the water is boiling, carefully add the King and Snow crab legs to the pot. Cover and boil for about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Check for Doneness

    After 7 minutes, check if the crab legs are heated through. They should be bright red and fragrant.

    While the crab legs are cooking, melt 1 cup of butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

  5. 5
