How to Steam King or Snow Crab Legs

Do you love to eat crab legs? I do and it doesn't matter if they are the little snow crab legs or the huge king crab legs. They are both delicious! And what's even better, they are so easy to cook.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Big pot
• crab legs (king or snow)
• water
• salt (if desired)

1. First get a big pot (big enough to put your crab legs in).
   
   And turn the stove on. I usually start with high heat and then adjust when the water starts to boil.

2. Place your (rinsed) crab legs in the pot and then put some water in the pot. You don't have to fill the pot full of water, but I would at least fill it half way full.

3. Once the water starts to boil, put a lid on the pot (optional) and add salt if you desire.
   
   Cook for about 25 minutes.
   
   Melt some butter or break out the cocktail sauce if you desire. Me, I just like them plain! Enjoy!
