Back to RecipesPrevious RecipeNext recipe

Prep Time:        10 Minutes
Cook Time:      25 Minutes

 

Ingredients:

  • 3 ½ LB. Alaskan King Crab Legs with Shell
  • 6 Ears Fresh Corn
  • 1 ½ Cups Butter
  • 3 Teaspoons Minced Garlic
  • 1/8 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 Teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

 

Directions:

  • In a very large stock pot, bring a large amount of water to boil.  Place crab legs and corn in the pot with the boiling water.  Boil until the corn is tender and the crab legs are opaque and flaky. The crab may finish cooking before the corn, so check it every 5 minutes to prevent over cooking.
  • When finished cooking, drain well.  Cut a slit into each crab leg shell to make it easier for your guests to get to the meat.
  • In a large saucepan, melt butter, garlic, red pepper and Old Bay seasoning.  Stir in the crab and corn, and saute them for 5 to 10 minutes.

 

 Equipment Use:

    • 80-100 Qt. Stockpot: Aluminum or Stainless Steel
