CRAB LEGS

[HERRINGBONE]

Could someone post up a recipe? Can you boil shrimp and crab legs at one time? No vege needed I am lergic to them. haha

Well, you need to tell us sorta what you are looking for:

Shrimp and Crab Enchiladas, Shrimp and Crab Macaroni Salad, Shrimp and Crab Bisque, Shrimp and Crab Casserole, Crab 'N Shrimp Dip, Neptune's Delight, etc

Just crab legs by themself's or with shrimp.spiced with like old bay or something nothing fancy just boil dump out and eat and drink beer.

All you're actually doing as far as the crablegs go is getting them hot as they are cooked before freezing.Once the water begins to boil they are pretty much ready to eat but you can let them boil for a minute or so.Don't over do it or the meat will be rubbery.
Suppose you could cook shrimp along with them depending on volume and amount of heat you can provide(electric stove vs. propane/gas burner).

I have heard to put beer and a cap full of vinegar. Has anyone used vinegar before? I heard it makes the meat pull right out.

Put a couple inches of water in a big ole pot
Add a splash of white vinegar
Pour in some old bay
Put lid on and make boil
Dump said crab legs in and sprinkle more old bay
Cover and steam till done

In meantime, put some butter, lemon and little old bay in bowl and nuke in microwave

Grab a cold beer, some nutcrackers, a roll of paper towels, a trash can and have at it!

Really? An almost 6 year old thread? BTW crab and shrimp do not cook at the same rate.
