Ingredients
4bunchessnow crab legsfresh or thawed
Serving Suggestion:
butter or gheemelted
Instructions
Prep: Ensure grill grates are clean and preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Grill Crab: Place 4 bunches snow 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.
Serve: 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.
