Alright, let’s talk about what to eat with them crab legs, you know, the fancy stuff. I ain’t no fancy cook, mind you, but I know what tastes good alongside them tasty legs.
First off, you gotta have some bread. Not that soft, squishy stuff, no sir. Get yourself some good, crusty sourdough. That’s the ticket. Rip off a piece, dip it in some butter… oh honey, that’s good eatin’. Butter, you know, gotta have it. Just melt it down low, make it clear. Simple stuff but real good.
- Bread is a must-have. It soaks up all the good juices.
- And butter, gotta have lots of it. Melt it slow, till it’s nice and clear like.
Now, you can’t just eat bread and crab, gotta have some greens too. A fresh green salad is good, or some steamed veggies. Whatever you like, really. Just somethin’ to make you feel a little less guilty about all that butter you’re gonna eat. You can even have Brussels sprouts if you’re fancy like that. Just toss them in a pan or the oven, they get all crispy and yummy.
But if you’re feeling really hungry, and who ain’t when they got crab legs, you gotta have somethin’ hearty. Macaroni and cheese, that’s the stuff. The cheesy, gooey kind, you know? The kids love it, and let’s be honest, so do we grown-ups. Or if you ain’t a mac and cheese person, some steamed rice is good too. Fills you up and soaks up all the crab juice.
So, to recap, here’s what I’d put on the table with them crab legs:
- Crusty sourdough bread: For soppin’ up all the good stuff.
- Clarified butter: Melted down slow, it’s the best.
- Fresh green salad or steamed vegetables: Gotta have somethin’ healthy, even if it’s just a little bit.
- Macaroni and cheese or steamed rice: For when you’re really hungry.
And that’s all there is to it. Don’t go gettin’ all fancy, simple is best, especially when you’re eatin’ somethin’ as good as crab legs. You spend all your money on the crab, you don’t want to spend the rest on complicated sides. Just good, plain food that goes well with the main attraction. And remember, plenty of butter!
Now, some folks might tell you to get all fancy with your sides, but I say, why bother? You got crab legs, that’s the star of the show. Everything else is just there to fill you up and make the crab taste even better. So don’t overthink it. Just make sure you got somethin’ to soak up the juices, somethin’ green, and somethin’ hearty. And don’t forget the butter. Did I mention butter? You gotta have butter! And that’s all there is to it. Happy eatin’!
Honestly, I don’t know what else you need. Maybe some coleslaw, if you’re feelin’ adventurous. But the things I told you before, that’s all you really need for a good crab leg dinner. Just remember, keep it simple, keep it tasty, and you’ll have a meal fit for a king, or at least a hungry family.
