Cooking Tips
- If you don't have snow crab legs, you may use other types of crab meat or substitute it with more shrimp.
- For additional flavor, you may sprinkle some herbs or spices on the fries before baking such as rosemary, thyme or paprika.
- Make sure to properly thaw the shrimp if frozen before cooking to avoid overcooking or uneven cooking.
- Don't overcook the snow crab legs as they can become tough and rubbery. The meat should be slightly tender and juicy.
