Beer-Marinated Crab Legs
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds Alaskan king crab legs
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle beer (i.e. Newcastle Brown Ale®)
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
Instructions
1
Combine the succulent crab legs with a generous amount of fresh parsley, a squeeze of tart lemon juice, and a drizzle of fragrant oil in a spacious bowl. Thoroughly mix until the crab legs are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for an extended period of 8 hours or overnight, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Next, bring a potent brew of beer, sautéed onion, water, and minced garlic to a rolling boil in a large vessel. Place the crab legs in a sturdy steamer basket and carefully insert it into the pot, ensuring they are secure. Discard the used marinade, as its flavor has already been absorbed by the crab legs. Cover the pot and steam the crab until it reaches a tender, cooked-through state, taking approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
