King crab is one of the most sought-after delicacies in the world of seafood. The sweet and succulent meat is loved by many, but cooking it can be intimidating for some. If you want to impress your guests with your cooking skills, follow this step-by-step guide on how to cook live king crab like a pro.
Before you start cooking, you need to prepare the crab. Begin by placing the live king crab in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This will help sedate the crab and make it easier to handle. Next, remove the crab from the freezer and rinse it thoroughly under cold running water. Use a brush to scrub away any dirt or debris. You can also remove the legs and claws at this stage if you prefer.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a tablespoon of salt to the water. Place the crab in the pot, making sure that it is fully submerged. Boil the crab for about 10-12 minutes, depending on the size of the crab. Once it's cooked, remove the crab from the pot and place it on a large platter.
To serve the crab, you will need a pair of kitchen shears and a nutcracker. Use the shears to cut open the crab's shell and remove the meat. Crack the claws and legs with the nutcracker to get to the meat inside. Serve the crab with melted butter, lemon wedges, and your favorite dipping sauce.
