Crab Legs

Cook all shell fish in the microwave!  It’s fabulous.  You will never use a large stock pot again.

This timetable is for defrosted Crab Legs. 

For 1 pound – microwave on high.  White side up – 3 minutes.  Pink side up – 3 minutes.  Do not add water.

For ease in eating, run a knife down the middle of the crab leg after cooking.

Serve with melted butter. 

I always serve with Artichokes, also cooked in the microwave.  Rinse artichoke off, put on waxed paper, sprinkle with garlic powder.  Microwave on high for about 8 minutes.)
