Who doesn’t love Alaskan King Crabs? They are a special treat and when we have them — we can’t get enough of them. There are a variety of ways to prepare Alaskan King Crabs but my favorite, and simplest way is steamed.

Steam On

Can’t go wrong with steaming them in a pot of water with a little garlic tossed in. Yum! Then there is the butter or other sauces to dip your Alaskan King Crab into but why stop at just butter? Here are a few other way to enjoy steamed crab legs.
