Snow Crab Recipe (+)

Directions

Bring water to a boil in a steamer pot and then place the snow crab in the steamer basket.
Allow them to steam for about 9 or 10 minutes. Do not overcook because it could cause the meat to stick to the shell, making it hard to remove the meat from the legs.
When cooking, you are basically just heating up the crab legs because they are generally precooked when you buy them. After 9 or 10 minutes remove the snow crab from the steamer and serve immediately.
Serve with melted butter for dipping the meat.
