Diablo Crabby Crab Legs

I may not be a caveman, or even eat like one all of the time, but I do love experimenting with different things to eat and I don't judge recipes these days based on a certain type of diet.  I call it equal opportunity eating... okay, so I try not to eat too much sugar, or a lot of carbs, but I still make them and sample.  Anyway, this recipe is safe for the cavemen (and ladies) to eat, and is delicious with crab and shrimp also!

Ingredients (serves 4.. or so):
  • 5 snow crab leg bunches
  • 2T extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1/2 jalapeno, diced
  • 2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1t cayenne pepper
Directions:
  1. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil.  Add the crab and cook for approximately 6 minutes.
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes (until onion is transparent).  Stir in pepper and tomatoes and continue cooking for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and cayenne and remove from heat.
  3. Puree the tomato/onion/garlic mixture in a food processor and use as a dipping sauce for the crab.
