Marinated crab legs are steamed over beer and onion. They taste great, even to those who claim they don’t like crab. I like to dip them in melted butter!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Alaskan king crab legs
- 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
- ½ cup lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 (12 ounce) bottle beer (such as Newcastle Brown Ale)
- 1 onion, quartered
- ½ cup water
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
Directions
Step 1
Combine crab legs, parsley, lemon juice, and oil in a large bowl. Stir until crab legs are coated. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
Step 2
Bring beer, onion, water, and garlic to a rapid boil in a large pot. Place crab legs in a steamer basket and insert into the pot. Discard marinade. Cover and steam until crab is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
