PERFECT BOILED CRAB LEGS RECIPE | MYRECIPES



Perfect Boiled Crab Legs Recipe | MyRecipes image

Boiled crab legs are so easy to prepare at home, there’s no reason to get them at a restaurant for double the price. Most seafood markets or grocery store seafood sections carry pre-cooked, flash-frozen crab legs to maintain the best quality crab meat. All you have to do to get fresh, sweet, light, and tender crab legs is boil them for a few minutes. For an extra kick, add cajun seasoning or a spice mix like Old Bay to the boiling water instead of salt.

0 1 to 2 tbsp water

    After removing the meat from the long shafts of the shell, use your fork to pry the meat out of the main joint at the opposite end from the claw.
