Instant Pot Steamed Crab Legs
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 2 pounds frozen king crab legs
  • 1 medium lemon, juiced
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary components.
2
Position a heat-diffusing tray within a versatile pressure cooking device, such as the Instant Pot. Fill the container with water and carefully position crab legs on top of the tray; if they require thawing, permit them to relax for a short duration to facilitate placement.
3
Close the lid and secure it firmly. Refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for selecting high pressure; set a timer according to their specifications, in this instance, 3 minutes. Allow an additional 10 minutes for the pressure to reach its peak.
4
Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method, as indicated by the manufacturer's instructions, approximately 5 minutes. Remove and unlock the lid.
5
Utilize tongs to relocate crab legs to a serving platter.
6
Sprinkle a squeeze of lemon juice over the top and serve with melted butter.
