Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grill

    Start by preparing your mesquite charcoal grill. Light the charcoal and let it burn until it is covered with white ash.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Crab Legs

    While the grill is heating, rinse the Alaskan King Crab legs under cold water to remove any debris. Pat them dry with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Season the Crab Legs

    In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture over the crab legs, ensuring they are well-coated.

  4. 4

    Broil the Crab Legs

    Once the grill is ready, place the crab legs on the grill over the coals. Grill them for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are heated through and slightly charred.

  5. 5

    Add Lemon and Parsley

    Remove the crab legs from the grill. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over them and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the grilled Alaskan King Crab legs hot, with additional lemon wedges on the side if desired.
