I know, we usually share drink recipes, but today we wanted to share an awesome Alaskan king crab legs recipe and wine pairing. We were able to take some time, finally, to spend with some family friends and enjoy a great time with food and drinks. Hosting the party, of course I was the tender. Margaritas, Mojitos, and Lemon Drop shots everywhere.

The main course were Alaskan king crab legs…. man, were they good! You almost have to eat them with metal gloves, but they’re worth it.

We were able to find and follow a recipe from the Foodnetwork.com.

Drunken Alaskan King Crab Legs

3 bottles premium ale
3 lemons, cut in 1/2
1 head garlic, split in 1/2
3 pounds Alaskan king crab legs, split
Drawn butter, for serving

To a large stockpot with a steamer insert, add beer, lemons and garlic and bring to a boil. Add crab legs and cover. Steam for 5 minutes or until crab is cooked through. Serve with drawn butter.

But to finish it just right, a nice Reisling wine.

Whew, enjoy!
