- 2 – 3 cups water
- 2 lemon cut
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Note: These crab legs are fully cooked.

- Get a big tray. I used 16 in x 11.50 in. It occupied 2 stove top. If you have a bigger tray than this size, it is even better as long as it fits your stove.
- Place a wire rack in the tray and arrange the crabs legs.
- Bend the flexible lower part of the legs to fit the tray.
- Pour water in the tray. Water should not touch crab legs.
- Cover tray with foil.
- Place tray on stove over medium-low heat. Make sure there’s always water in the tray.
- If crabs legs is semi-thawed steam for 4 to 6 minutes. If fully frozen steam for 15 to 18 minutes.
- While steaming melt butter. I just placed mine on top of the steaming crab legs.
- Slice lemon wedges.
- Serve crab legs with butter and lemon wedges. Have a cutter and cracker ready. With crab legs a cutter is better to use. Enjoy this super delicious Alaskan Crab Legs.
