If boiling feels too aggressive (you delicate soul), steaming keeps the meat juicier and more flavorful. Fill a pot with about an inch of water, add a few cloves of garlic or some Old Bay if you’re feeling wild, then place a steamer basket inside.
Bring the water to a simmer, arrange the frozen legs in the basket, cover, and steam for 5 to 7 minutes. The steam circulates around the legs, heating them evenly without diluting that sweet crab essence. You’ll smell the ocean in your kitchen—it’s basically aromatherapy for seafood lovers.
Pro tip: resist the urge to peek every ten seconds. Every time you lift the lid, you release steam, and that just adds cooking time. Be patient, you wonderful creature.
