Authentic home cooking from Spain, with US measurements. 
Crab Legs
My kids are on vacation, so I took the opportunity to share this recipe with you all. I hope you enjoy it!
Crab legs can be boiled, baked, or steamed. They are very popular here in the US, come from the Pacific, and are sold frozen. At home, we prefer them steamed—they turn out more tender and are perfect for serving with different dips. The frozen crab legs you find at the supermarket look like the ones in the photo, with lots of meat.

Buy crab legs. To steam them, fill a large stainless steel pot with about 10 quarts (about 9.5 liters) of water. The water should stay below the steamer basket or colander that you'll place over the pot to steam the crab legs. Make sure the colander is secure so it doesn't fall into the pot.

When the water is boiling, place the crab legs on the colander and steam for 5 to 10 minutes. Add salt to the water.
