Here is a simple method for cooking king crab:

Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil.

Once the water is boiling, gently place the king crab legs into the pot and allow them to cook for about 5-7 minutes.

Carefully remove the king crab legs from the pot using tongs or a slotted spoon, and place them onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain.

Once the king crab legs have cooled slightly, use a pair of kitchen scissors or a sharp knife to cut through the thin shells, exposing the tender meat inside.

Serve the king crab legs warm with your choice of dipping sauce, such as melted butter or lemon juice.

Optional: For added flavor, you can also season the boiling water with a few crushed garlic cloves, a pinch of salt, and a sprig of fresh herbs (such as parsley or dill). This will infuse the king crab with extra flavor as it cooks. Enjoy!
