Answers:
Put into boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Depending if they are snow or king crab. You will have to cook the king crab for the longer period of time.
Other Answers:
Until the shell turns red
Don't boil, steam them until they are bright red.Boiling takes out all the flavor. Start at 10 minutes, then test them by making sure the inner meat is white and juicy. Now go steam them.

I cook often. You should steam them, it saves the flavor.
Believe it or not, the microwave works best! Wrap the crab legs in damp paper towels or clean kitchen towels and cook for 1 minute per pound.
Most all "crab" you buy in the stores are already cooked, flashed cooked at the docks when their off loaded and then frozen. Thats why you steam them fast in the microwave instead of cooking them slower by boiling, and you save the flavor.
For "fresh" (natural color)crab, not fresh frozen(red color), steam it on your stove top.
Hope this helps............ Usually, 20 to 25 minutes. In the Caribbean we, not only boil the legs, but the whole crab. Of course, depending of its kind. The whole crab will take you about the same if you boil the whole thing.
