Steps:

  • Put the crab legs in the bottom of a large stockpot, then cover with 4 quarts of water and stir in the seafood seasoning (see Cook's Note). Halve the lemons and squeeze the juice into the pot, then add the rinds. Cover and bring to a boil, then cook over medium-high heat until the crab legs are warmed through, about 5 minutes. Remove the crab legs to a large serving bowl or platter.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until the butter foams and simmers, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and let stand 5 minutes. Using a spoon, remove any milk solids from the surface of the butter, then slowly pour the melted butter into a small serving bowl, leaving any watery, white whey behind in the saucepan. Serve alongside the crab legs.

3 pounds frozen cooked king crab legs
One 6-ounce box seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay, plus additional as needed
2 lemons
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter

Steamed Alaska King Crab with Chardonnay-Lemon-Herb Splash image

Steps:

  • Make the Chardonnay-Lemon-Herb Splash ahead and keep refrigerated. Bring it to room temperature and stir it well before serving.
  • Rinse frozen Alaska Crab legs under cold running water to remove any ice glaze; pat dry with paper towels. Discard towels. Cut crab legs into smaller sections with a large knife or clean kitchen scissors, if desired.
  • In the bottom of a large steamer pot with an insert and a tight-fitting lid, combine the wine, water and lemon slices. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Place crab legs in steamer insert and place over boiling mixture. Cover pan tightly and cook for 6 to 8 minutes for frozen crab or 3 to 4 minutes for thawed crab, cooking just until crab is heated-through.
  • Serve crab drizzled with the Chardonnay-Lemon-Herb Splash; pass the remaining splash on the side.
  • Mix all the ingredients well.
  • Makes 3/4 cup

STEAMED SNOW CRAB LEGS

I know that many advocate using seasoning and boiling crab legs, but I like the simplicity of the naturally sweet and rich flavor of crab legs that have been steamed. Using a two-piece pasta pot with the strainer portion as a steamer insert works well to perfectly steam crab legs. I always serve clarified butter for dipping the crab meat.

Steps:

  • Rinse ice from frozen crab legs, and place in the strainer insert of the pot. Cover.
  • Steam crab legs for 6 to 14 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Serve crab legs with clarified butter for dipping. (Recipe #51525 works well.).

POLL: STEAMED VS. BOILED CRAB LEGS? - FOOD52
Lori T. November 5, 2019. I agree with you- steam is the way to go, not boiling. The southern style of seafood boil generally is done with shrimp and whole crabs- not snow crab legs. That's fine for a shrimp, it does nothing for the crab. I'd stick with the steam, and supply the Old Bay seasoning in butter on the side.
