Ingredients
-
2 lbs crab legs
-
2 tbsp butter, melted
-
1 ½ - 2 tbp Wurzpott Coastal Breeze seasoning
-
lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Directions
Preheat a large pot with a steaming basket and bring water to a gentle boil.
Brush crab legs lightly with melted butter.
Sprinkle Coastal Breeze evenly over the crab legs, coating all sides lightly.
Place crab legs in the steamer basket over boiling water.
Steam for 5–7 minutes if thawed or 8–10 minutes if frozen, until heated through.
Remove from heat and serve immediately with optional lemon wedges and remaining melted butter if desired.
Recipe Note
Most store-bought crab legs are already fully cooked, so the goal is to heat them gently without overcooking.
Start with 1½ teaspoons of Coastal Breeze for a balanced flavor and add more to taste if desired.
Butter helps the seasoning adhere evenly while enhancing the natural sweetness of the crab.
Do not oversalt. Crab legs naturally contain salt and pair best with lighter seasoning.
Serve with fresh lemon wedges for added brightness and balance.
