But if you're hosting a shower, don't feel obligated to schedule a gift-opening. Actually, in some cultures around the world it's considered impolite to open gifts in front of the giver.
Best Answer: No, don't thaw them. Just throw them in the pot of boiling water. If they are snow crabs, for about 8 minutes, about 15 for King. But watch carefully so you don't overcook them.
Bring to a boil. 3. Remove the crabs from the freezer and using a pair of tongs, grab them from behind so you donât get pinched (see photo above). Depending on the size of your pot and your crabs, youâll likely want to cook one at a time. Lower each crab into the boiling water with its legs facing down. 4. While the crabs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice. Allow each crab to cook for approximately 15 minutes (once they float to the top, give them an extra 2-3 minutes).
