Instant Pot Alaskan Snow Crab Legs (Video)

01/26/2019 by The Mama Maven

Did someone say seafood season? Who loves snow crab legs?? We love seafood in my house and making it in the Instant Pot is so easy! Order some frozen or thawed snow crab legs from your favorite place and make them in your Instant Pot!

Instant Pot Alaskan Snow Crab Legs | The Mama Maven Blog

This is based on a recipe from Allrecipes. 

Ingredients:

You’ll need snow crab legs — I found wild-caught, as well as water, lemon juice, and butter. Make sure you have a trivet or steaming basket for your instant pot.

If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can use a steamer basket in a pot on your stove. When you add your snow crabs, look over what it’s your package — there were two pieces of the crab that weren’t usable.

Of course, you can get amazing Alaskan Snow Crab Legs from our affiliate partner Cameron’s Seafood – so that will be how I’ll order this next time. Order Snow Crab Legs (or pick them up from your local fish market or supermarket), make sure your instant pot is clean then then print out the directions below!

I served this with a salad, spanish rice, and shrimp cocktail. Make sure you have something to break the crab legs with! Instant Pot Alaskan Snow Crab Legs

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cup water
  • 1 large package of wild-caught Snow Crabs
  • Butter
  • 3 tsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Take out your instant pot and put a steamer basket or trivet
  • Add water to your instant pot
  • Add snow crabs
  • Put the lid on and turn it to sealing.
  • Put on manual for 3 minutes
  • After the Instant pot finishes cooking and beeps, let it sit for 5 more minutes. Then do a quick release (there will be steam)
  • Place on a plate, add lemon juice and then serve with melted butter.

Need an Instant Pot? I love this one. Get one at either Kohl’s, Macy’s or Amazon.
I recommend getting extra sealing rings – find at Kohl’s or Amazon – I have two and rotate them.

I also have a glass lid — perfect for yogurt making or putting your inner pot in the fridge. Get at Kohl’s or Amazon.
