What is the best way to cook frozen crab legs and lobster tail?

I'm planning on steaming, but wonder if boiling is better? How long do I steam them?What is the best way to cook frozen crab legs and lobster tail?
All frozen crab legs are already completely cooked hence the red color. So just reheat them as quickly as possibe in boiling water for 3-4 minutes. For the lobster tail thaw first or it will not cook evenly. Split the tail down the center and expose meat. season and bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes for a 2-4 ounce tail.What is the best way to cook frozen crab legs and lobster tail?
Make a packet out of aluminum foil- place all the pieces inside -dress with olive oil, fresh herbs, and chopped garlic.


close the packet and bake in the oven for about 15+ minutes at 400 degrees. Jsut check it to see if they are hot all the way through.





Put the packet on a cookie sheet so it is easy to handle.
steam is nice boil takes the sweet juices away from the meat
steam them for sure. If you boil them the flesh might get all watery and flavour will get cooked out of them. Not sure exactly how long but for sure the crab legs will cook faster than the lobster tail, so put the tail in first.
