KING CRAB LEGS NO FURTHER A MYSTERY

I'm baffled. Why bother with buttering the shell? We don’t eat that! Can we slit the legs lengthwise and butter that way?Protect with a lid and Prepare dinner for 6 to 10 minutes or till the crab is totally heated. When they begin to omit a “cooked odor,” they should be willing to consume. Provide with garlic butter, lemon wedges, and enjoy!
