Description
Grilled Crab Legs – an easy, simple grilled crab leg recipe that is perfect for a fancy surf and turf meal. Great for any special occasion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bunches of snow crab legs, fresh or thawed
- melted butter or ghee for serving
Instructions
- Ensure grill grates are clean and bring grill to medium-high heat.
- Place crab legs over direct heat and close the lid. Let cook 5-7 minutes.
- Open grill and flip. Close lid and let cook another 4-5 minutes or until they are warmed through.
- Remove from grill and serve immediately with melted butter or ghee.
Notes
- King Crab Legs: the directions are the same for king crab legs, the cook time will just be a bit longer – about 7-10 minutes per side or until they are hot all the way through.
- Frozen Crab Legs: I would highly recommend thawing your crab legs before grilling. While you can grill frozen crab legs (the cook time will just be a bit longer) you risk that some of the crab meat may get dry (the thinner pieces) while other thicker parts may not be all the way done.
