FAQs
How do you steam 1.5 lbs. of snow crab legs at home?
To steam 1.5 lbs. of snow crab legs, place a steamer basket in a large pot with about 2 inches of water. Bring the water to a boil, add the crab legs to the basket, cover with a lid, and steam for 7-10 minutes if thawed or 12-15 minutes if frozen.
What’s the best way to serve steamed snow crab legs?
Serve them with melted butter, lemon wedges, or garlic butter for dipping. You can also pair them with sides like corn on the cob, baked potatoes, or a fresh salad.
How do you crack open snow crab legs easily?
Use kitchen shears or a crab cracker to cut through the shell. Start at the joints and gently pull out the meat in one piece for easier eating.
Can you season snow crab legs while steaming?
Yes! Add ingredients like lemon slices, garlic cloves, Old Bay seasoning, or fennel seeds to the steaming water for extra flavor infusion.

Steaming preserves the natural sweetness and tenderness of the meat without making it waterlogged, while boiling may dilute the flavor if not drained properly.

Place leftover crab legs in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 2 days. Reheat by steaming for 3-4 minutes or warming in an oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

You’ll need a large pot with a lid and a steamer basket or colander to keep the crab legs above the water while they cook.
