• Versatile: Serve with fresh herbs or vegetables like green beans or asparagus for added crunch.

Ingredients

For the Pot:

• 2 large king crab legs
• 1 ear of corn, cut into halves or thirds
• 3 medium potatoes, quartered lengthwise
• 2 cups sausage (sliced; kielbasa or andouille work well)
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
• 2 lemon wedges
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter

For the Broth:

• Fill a large pot with enough water to cover the ingredients.
• Add the sausage and potatoes to the boiling water; bring to a boil.

Instructions

1. Season the Broth:

   In the same pot, add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, then minced garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice. Simmer for 5 minutes until fragrant. Stir in Old Bay seasoning and cook for another minute to infuse the flavor.

2. Cook the Potatoes:

   Add the potatoes to the boiling broth. Cook on low heat, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes or until tender.

3. Cook the Sausage:

   In a separate pot, slice the sausage into thin rounds and cook over medium heat until golden brown. Once cooked, add back to the potato broth and stir gently to combine.

4. Add the King Crab Legs:

   Carefully remove the king crab legs from their shells (to avoid liquid splattering) and add them to the pot. They should rest on top of the simmering liquid. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the legs are just cooked through. Be careful not to overcook as it might make them mushy.

5. Finish in Creamy Lemon:

   Once the crab legs are done cooking, remove from heat and strain any remaining solids through a fine sieve into a bowl. Let cool slightly before serving with fresh lemon wedges on the side for dipping.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve hot with a side of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
• Add steamed green beans, asparagus, or roasted vegetables for an extra dimension in flavor.
