I have made this recipe twice now, and the last time I added shrimp the last two minutes.
I made these last night for New Years Eve, and they turned out fantastic.
This is a very easy recipe to make and I will use it again. Thanks Emeril.

Easiest thing I have ever cooked! So much better than any restaurant cooked crab. Forget Crab Shack... we went to Costco, picked the fattest legs we saw at $19.00 per pound and had a night-long feast. Making them again for Christmas, can't wait!

I was looking for a simple way to create flavorful crab legs. And thanks to Emeril, that's just what I got!! I made this for myself and a friend who gave me huge kudos for my work in the kitchen! Once I was done with the steam for the crabs, I then used the same method to steam some fresh broccoli, which gave it that same "drunken" feel as the crab. Love, Love, Love this recipe! If you're looking for a tasteful and easy way to prepare some crab, you just found what you're looking for!!
