Equipment

  • 1 Large pan
  • 1 Outdoor grill (you can also bake at 350 until cooked thoroughly)
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Medium knife

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 2-3 lbs. king crab legs
  • 1 stick butter halved
  • 1 cup chopped button mushrooms
  • 2 cups finely chopped spinach
  • 1 tsp. Trader Joe's chili lime seasoning
  • 3 cloves chopped garlic
  • juice of 2 lemons
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. grated parmesan
  • 1 tsp. Chinese 5 spice
  • 1 tsp. cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large frying pan melt half a stick of butter. Add in your chopped fresh spinach and minced mushrooms. Lightly sauté for 1-2 min. Then add your cooked rice.
    1 stick butter, 2 cups finely chopped spinach, 1 cup chopped button mushrooms
  • Add your Trader Joe’s Chili Lime seasoning, minced garlic and Chinese 5 spice.
    1 tsp. Trader Joe's chili lime seasoning, 3 cloves chopped garlic, 1 tsp. Chinese 5 spice
  • Toss lightly and consistently for about 2-3 min at high heat to get the rice toasty but not burnt.
    3 cups cooked rice
  • You can add in crab meat chunks here or wait till the end, let’s be honest, I’m greedy so I did both.
    2-3 lbs. king crab legs
  • Using scissors I cut the legs horizontally and removed the top side of the shell. With the Parmesan mixed in the butter lightly brush the legs and place them on the grill with Chinese 5 spice and cracked black pepper to taste. (or in the oven to be baked at 350 for 15min).
    1 tbsp. grated parmesan
  • Remove the crab. Plate your rice and place your legs on top. Shell provides more presentation and taking the meat out out is another option.
