Description

This is more method than actual recipe. The goal is to bake the crab legs and get them hot without drying them out. The key is to keep them well wrapped and drenched in liquid.

Ingredients

King Crab legs
2 lemons
hot water
lemon wedges and melted butter for garnish

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Put the crab legs on a sheet pan.
Squeeze a lemon or two over the legs.
Add just enough hot water to cover the bottom of the pan. (Be sure your water is hot.)
Wrap the entire pan in foil. You want a fairly tight seal, to keep the steam in.
Pop the pan into your preheated, 350-degree oven.
Bake for about 10 minutes, until heated through. When the time’s up, yank the pan out of the oven, give them a quick test for temperature (I just crack into one and see if it’s hot in the middle)
Voila! You just made King Crab. Enjoy!
