  5. Add crab legs to the pot, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes

Notes

You can use the ramen seasoning packet or omit it to control saltiness. Pre-boiling crab legs for 10 minutes helps remove excess salt. This recipe is highly customizable with additional seafood like mussels or different sausage types.
