For the crab legs
- 3 bottles beer I used Michelob Ultra
- 6 lemons cut in 1/2
- 1 head garlic split in 1/2
- 3 pounds crab legs split (thawed if frozen)
For the crab legs
Place a large stockpot with a steamer insert onto your stovetop.
Add the beer, 6 lemon halves and the garlic and bring to a boil.
Add the legs to the steamer and cover and steam for 5 minutes or until the crab legs are done.
Serve with drawn butter and remaining lemon halves.
For the drawn butter
Place the butter in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Boil for 1 minute.
Remove from heat and let the butter settle. Do no stir.
Skim off the milk solids from the top.
Remove drawn butter (taking care to not also get the watery liquid that settles below it) to small ramekins or bowls for serving.
