How to Cook Raw Frozen Norwegian Red King Crab Legs

Preparing Norwegian Red King Crab Legs requires careful handling and cooking to preserve their succulent texture and exquisite flavor. Follow these simple steps for the best results!

Step 1: Defrosting the King Crab Legs

✔ Refrigerator Method: Place the frozen crab legs in the refrigerator for 24 hours to thaw slowly and evenly.
✔ Quick Thaw Method: If short on time, place crab legs in a sealed bag under cold running water for 30-45 minutes.

🔔 Avoid microwaving or soaking in hot water as this can ruin the texture of the meat.

Step 2: Steaming the Crab Legs – The Best Cooking Method

✔ Fill a large pot with 2 inches of water and bring it to a boil.
✔ Place a steamer basket over the pot and add the crab legs.
✔ Cover and steam for 20 minutes for optimal tenderness.
✔ Optional: Add lemon slices, garlic, or herbs to the water for extra flavor.

✔ Use kitchen shears to cut down both sides of the shell for easy access.
