Alaskan Crab Legs - Can Cooker style
Alaskan Crab legs flash frozen then thaw them in the fridge overnight. We used our Can Cooker cause the legs were so large. Or use a large pot.
Ingredients
- 1 package of frozen crab legs or fresh
- 1.5-2 cups water
- sea salt or himalayan salt
- melted butter
- minced garlic optional in butter
- lemon optional
Instructions
- Put 1.5 to 2 cups of water in the Can Cooker.
- Secure lid and place Can Cooker on medium heat source.
- The water has started to boil when steam is released from the vent.
- Carefully remove the lid - I like to set it on another large pot. Add the Crab Legs.
- Close the lid and latch it. Continue to steam for 8-10 minutes.
- Use long tongs to remove the crab legs.
- Serve with melted butter and lemon wedges.
A Seafood Boil
