I don’t have to have my arm twisted to make and eat crab legs. Ever. I love them. So whenever wild-caught Alaskan king crab is on sale, I grab some legs and claws.
3poundscrab legsand claws, cooked (if frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge first). I used Alaskan King Crab. You can use snow crab too, but you might want to shorten the cooking time.
Note: If your legs are too long to fit in the Big Easy basket, just take a sharp knife and split them.
Fire up your Big Easy.
Squeeze a little lemon juice into some olive oil and brush the legs and claws.
Place legs and claws in the Big Easy basket along with the remaining lemons (halved first).
Place basket in the Big Easy and cook for 6 minutes. Larger legs or more legs might take longer. I pulled a small leg out after 6 minutes for a quick test and found it to be perfect.
Serve hot with the roasted lemons and clarified butter for dipping.
