Ingredients
  

  • 3- 3 1/2 pounds snow crab legs

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped parsley
  • 6 garlic cloves Minced
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Preheat grill to medium-high, 350 degrees.
  • Place the crab legs on the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side.
  • Cool before you split the crab legs.

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir. Serve for dipping sauce or brush the butter over the crab.

Notes

  • Crab should be cooked until the flesh is pearly or white, and opaque. You won’t be able to tell much by the outside color, because when you bought them they were already pre-cooked and orange. Examine the shoulder (this is the large white part of the cluster). It should be pearly white.
  • You can use snow crab legs or king crab legs. King crab legs cook for 5-7 minutes on each side.
  • Adjust the spices and seasoning to suit your taste.
