Microwave Alaskan King Crab Claws

I saw this on recipe for nuked Alaskan King Crab Claws on Alton Brown several years ago, and I wanted to try ever since. It is very easy.  The crab has a different flavor than the  crabs we get her in Maryland.

Ingredients

  • 6 Alaskan king crab claws, thawed
  • 2 sprigs lemon thyme

Directions
Wrap 3 claws at a time in a damp paper towel, along with 1 sprig of thyme, dill or other fresh herb, and then wrap in plastic wrap. Place wrapped claws in microwave 1 package at a time and cook on high for 2 minutes. Remove and unwrap carefully. Serve immediately. We served with a salad and roasted green beans. Butter on the side of course, but not that necessary.
