Snow Crab Legs with Drawn Butter
Indulge in the sweet, tender meat of snow crab legs, perfectly complemented by rich drawn butter for a luxurious seafood experience.
Ingredients
- 2½ lb snow crab legs
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 lemon (optional)
- ¼ tsp salt (optional)
Steps
- Thaw frozen snow crab legs in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for 30 minutes.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, skim off any foam from the top and carefully pour the clear butter into a serving dish, leaving the milk solids behind.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the crab legs and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until heated through.
- Carefully remove the crab legs from the pot and arrange them on a serving platter.
- Serve immediately with the drawn butter and lemon wedges, if desired.
