Number Of Ingredients 4

1 ½ cups water
2 pounds frozen king crab legs
juice of one lemon
⅓ cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Place a trivet in the multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and add water. Place crab legs on top of the trivet; you may need to let them thaw for a few minutes so they will fit.

  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Using tongs, transfer crab legs to a serving dish. Squeeze lemon juice on top and serve with melted butter.

These were amazing! I used a mix of Old Bay seasoning and Cajun seasoning and they were so flavorful. The meat was cooked perfectly and the shells were easy to crack. I will definitely be making these again.
