Maybe you don’t have a steamer. Or maybe you just want to watch water bubble. I get it. Fill a big pot with water, toss in some Old Bay or salt, and bring it to a vigorous boil.
Drop the frozen legs in. Boil for 4 to 5 minutes max. Please don’t walk away. If you boil them for 20 minutes, your crab will taste like soggy string cheese. And nobody wants that.
Drain them fast. Serve with melted butter. Your future self will high-five you.
