Ingredients
6
Alaskan king crab claws
, thawed
4
sprigs
fresh dill
Instructions
Cut claws at joints to fit into your microwave. Wrap 3 claws in damp paper towels with 2 sprigs of fresh dill and wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
Place wrapped claws in the microwave 1 package at a time and cook for 2 minutes.
Remove and carefully unwrap, they’ll be steamy so be careful of the full-facial steam.
Serve and enjoy with melted butter and plenty of napkins.
Notes
Since the legs have been steamed and thus the shells are softened, I use kitchen shears to open the crab legs rather than a crab cracker.
