Prep Time: 5     Cook Time: 30

Servings: 4

Sauté chorizo in large nonstick skillet or stock pot until browned. Drain on paper towels. Sauté onion in olive oil over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir one minute. Add beer and broth; bring to a boil and cook one minute. Stir in chorizo, tomatoes and kale; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.

Rinse Alaska King Crab legs under cold running water to remove any ice glaze. Add crab to broth and return to a simmer.

Once simmering, cover and cook 8 to 10 minutes for frozen crab or 4 to 5 minutes for thawed crab, or until heated through. Turn crab legs over, if needed, to simmer on all sides in the broth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
