Preheat oven to 500. Heat the butter, olive oil and garlic in a very large ovenproof sauté or roasting pan over medium-high heat until hot. (You may need 2 pans). Add the crab, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss well. Transfer to the oven and roast until the garlic turns light brown and the crab is heated through, about 12 minutes. Toss once halfway through. Pour contents of the pan into a large warm serving bowl, add the lemon juice and parsley and toss well. Serve immediately.
