Coal-Roasted King Crab

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glaze

    In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, red chili flakes, and sesame oil until well combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Crab

    Using a grill or coal pit, preheat the coals until they are hot and ashy. Place the king crab legs directly on the coals and roast for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally.

  3. 3

    Baste the Crab

    During the last few minutes of roasting, brush the soy-lime glaze over the crab legs to coat them evenly. Allow the glaze to caramelize slightly.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the crab legs from the coals and place them on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro before serving.
