Equipment

  • Air fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 lb crab legs about two crab leg clusters
  • 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning*
  • 1/2 cup butter melted, for dipping

Instructions

  • Season crab legs with the old bay or cajun spices and place in the air fryer.
  • Cook for 5 minutes at 345 degrees. There is no need to preheat the air fryer.
  • Crack legs and dip crab meat in butter for extra flavor

Notes

*Use old bay seasoning instead if prefer.
Dungeness or Snow crab legs fit best in the air fryer because they are smaller kind of crabs.
If you don't have a special device, simply crack crab legs with nut cracker and pull the meat out with the fork.
