How do I cook frozen crabs?
Boil frozen snow crab legs for 8 to 9 minutes. Bring a large pot of water to a strong boil before dropping in the crab. Cover the pot; bring it back to a gentle simmer, and let it cook for 8 to 9 minutes. If the crab is fully thawed, 4 to 5 minutes is sufficient.20 Oct 2017
Should I thaw frozen crabs before cooking?
Thaw the crab legs.
Place the crab legs in the refrigerator the night before and let thaw slowly. While slow thawing in the refrigerator is recommended, you can also thaw crab legs by placing them under cold, running water for several minutes. The vast majority of frozen crab legs are pre-cooked.

Is frozen crab already cooked?
Most frozen crab legs are already pre-cooked so they will just need to be heated. When cooking frozen crab legs, we recommend that you place them in a colander or steamer over rapidly boiling water. You will need to cover the pot and steam your frozen crab legs for about ten minutes or until they are completely heated.
