Step 1
Place the frozen legs in the refrigerator and allow them to thaw overnight. Use ONE of the below steps to re-heat your Alaskan King Crab legs. Each method of cooking provides a slightly different flavor.
Step 2
Place the king crab legs in a colander over boiling water and steam for 10 minutes or until they are heated through.
Step 3
Boil the king crab legs in seasoned water for about 6 minutes. The water can be seasoned with salt and your seafood seasoning of choice. Old Bay or some type of crab boil usually works best.
Step 4
Brush the king crab legs with olive oil or butter and place on a grill preheated to 300 degrees for 5 minutes on each side.
Step 5
If the king crab legs have already been split, brush them with olive oil or butter and broil them for about 3 minutes or until heated through.
Step 6
If the king crab legs are whole, bake them in a 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes.
Step 7
If you are short on time, wrap the king crab legs in some damp paper towels and microwave for about 4 minutes.
