Directions
Step 1

Cooks recommend to cook it over high heat to keep the juiciness of flesh, its delicate flavor, aroma, minerals and valuable components. Cook the legs, uncovered, for 4-5 minutes or until red. Remove the meat from the legs with kitchen shears or long tongs to cut through the shell.

Shake them a little to remove water they were cooking in and serve with garlic sauce or without. Optionally, before serving, sprinkle it with lemon juice and herbs. Enjoy your meal!!!
