Steamed Snow Crab Legs Recipe Video
Snow Crab Legs are not only easy to cook, but also easy to eat. Snow Crab Legs are typically from Alaskan seaboard and a smaller cousin to the King Crab. Snow Crabs are sold pre-cooked and frozen. One can actually just thaw and eat; however, many people prefer boiled in crab boil and other seasonings, Cajun Cooking style, and dipped in melted butter or Cajun Cocktail Sauce.

Absolutely easy, outstanding recipe. On my first try with snow crabs, two of my favorite food critique friends declared how perfect the seasoning was. The video even explains why things are added and what it can do to enhance. AWESOME!
