Believe it or not, October is right around the corner! While you probably know that next month brings apples, pumpkins, fall foliage and all things cozy, it also happens to be National Seafood Month. Woot!

As a HUGE and avid seafood lover, I am thrilled to be partnering with Kroger once again to share a fast, fresh and easy snow crab leg recipe. If you’ve ever been intimidated by preparing snow crab at home, fear not. It truly could not be easier.

Since snow crab legs are always sold precooked, you literally just have to cook them until they are warmed through, about 3-4 minutes tops. The sweet and briny crab pairs perfectly with the dry white wine and fragrant garlic in this show-stopping Crab Linguine with White Wine Sauce recipe.

For an added boost of protein and nutrients, I love using whole wheat pasta for this recipe. In fact, each serving of this crab linguine provides over 17 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber. Talk about a dinner time win!

What are your favorite ways to enjoy snow crab legs? I’d love to hear from you.

Your fork is waiting.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces whole wheat linguine cooked according to package instructions reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 pinch chili flakes

      Hey Tom – Sorry for the delay, it’s the weekend and I have family visiting so I wasn’t able to approve your comment quick enough. :) Did you find the “skip to recipe” button?

    Jesus, would you get to the freaking recipe already? I hate it when people have to tell their entire life story before getting to the recipe, especially when it’s a simplistic recipe that includes crab shells.

    Just made this dish for dinner but instead of snow crab legs I used jumbo lump crab meat & regular linguine instead of whole wheat. Delicious. Next time I would probably cut back a little on the lemon juice & add more garlic but it was a light tasting, delicious dish. Will definitely be making again.
