Notes
Crabmeat - You can use whatever variety of crabmeat you love best - lump crab, king crab, snow crab, imitation crab, and so on. Please check the article for a full list.
Hoagies Rolls, Hot Dog Buns and/or Sandwich Bread is completely optional. I really love to serve this crabmeat salad as a lettuce wrap on bibb or boston lettuce.
To Reheat Crab Legs: 1. Fill a large pot with steamer basket insert with 1-2’’ of water and bring to a boil. 2. Add crab legs and cover. Steam for 4-5 minutes, or until you can smell crab. 3. Remove crab legs and allow to cool. Use kitchen shears to cut shells and remove meat.Nutritional information is provided as a courtesy and the nutrition facts are an estimate based upon 8 servings.
