Usually crab legs are cooked when you buy them so you only need to warm them. I find the best way is to steam them. I put a veggie steamer in a large pot and only put the water to the level of the steamer. I put old bay all over the crab legs (some people use crab boil also) and when the water boils I put them in the steamer. I boil for about 10 mins or until hot. You can make a cream sauce to dip them in or melt butter. I heat heavy cream for about an hour and add a lot of butter and cook for about 10 more mins then I squeeze a lemon in the sauce. Its perfect! Easy and quick. Boil the legs with Old Bay seasoning added to the water. Cook until they turn orange. Dip in melted butter when ready to eat! There are healthier alternatives to dips for crab legs there as well and some really good crab meat recipes.
Old Bay Seasoning is a mixture of herbs and spices that was founded in 1939. It is not a Cajun seasoning although it is a little bit spicy.
To make a traditional Cajun seafood boil at home, follow these steps: In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add in Cajun seasoning, garlic, onions, and bay leaves. Add in your seafood of choice, such as crab, shrimp, or crawfish, and let it cook for a few minutes until the seafood is fully cooked. Add in corn on the cob, potatoes, and smoked sausage, and let it cook until they are tender. Drain the water and transfer the seafood and vegetables to a serving platter. Serve with melted butter, lemon wedges, and your favorite dipping sauce. Red Crab can provide you with fresh and high-quality seafood and Cajun seasoning to ensure that your Cajun seafood boil is authentic and delicious.
Bay leaf is used for seasoning only. It does not soften after cooking, and is inedible.
UH....YEAH!!!!! Unless you are doing like boiled shrimp then you would leave the shells on. You should boil them with something like OLD BAY SEASONING until pink.
Bay Leaf comes from a Laurel Tree.

It always tastes better if you thaw your king crab legs before you steam them but if you are running short on time, here's an easy method: 1. Boil the water in your steaming pot. 2. Rinse your crab legs under warm water to get rid of all the surface ice. 3. Place your crab legs in the steamer. Make sure you don't over crowd the legs. 4. 13 minutes and they're done. You can leave the left over crab legs in the simmering steamer for 20 minutes total to keep them warm while you crack the legs on your plate. If you need any more help you can use this guide for cooking king crab legs. If you have time to thaw your crab legs before steaming them, simply take them out of the freezer the night before, place them on a baking tray, and put them in your fridge. Steam thawed crab legs for 7 minutes.
No, SF Bay is a breeding ground for dungeness crab and keeping one of any size can carry a heavy fine.
