COOK SNOW CRAB CLUSTERS RECIPES

I ended up getting some snow crab legs on sale at the market. I wanted something a little different from plain steamed, boiled, or grilled crab legs, so I ended up throwing a few things together to make this awesome crab leg dish. Enjoy! This would be great with shrimp as well.

The crab legs most commonly found in grocery stores all across America are typically one or more species of the snow crab (Chionoecetes sp.). The two most common species are bairdi and opilio crabs. The bairdi crab, sometimes known as tanner crab, is the bigger of the two at 2 pounds, growing up to twice the size of an opilio crab. Either one will be quite delicious, so don't fret about which one you should get. Unless, of course, you actually have a preference. Providing that you buy American caught crab, you can be fairly certain that the crab you are eating is not the last of its species. Basically what I'm saying is that you shouldn't buy imported crab, as the crab fishing policies of other countries may not be as stringent. That is, unless you want this season of Deadliest Catch to be its last. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you are missing out on one of the only reality TV shows worth watching.
