Directions:

Steam the frozen crab legs in a large pot for 6 to 8 minutes, until heated through. When cool, use your crab shears to cut the shells open and remove the crab meat.

Over an open grill or medium-sized pan on the stove, roast the bell peppers until blackened. Cool slightly. Seed and thinly slice peppers.

There's a special way to tell when crabs are done cooking. Their shells will turn bright red when properly cooked.
Already cooked crab meat is widely available. Although it's often sold frozen, seek out fresh cooked crab meat for the best flavor and texture. In the months of September through April, during most crab fishing seasons is when the local fish markets often sell cooked whole crabs. Ask for them to be cleaned and cracked, or take them home crack them yourself and then remove the meat.
