Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Legs

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Rinse the Alaskan King crab legs under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Make the Drawn Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add minced garlic and lemon juice. Stir and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm.

  3. 3

    Grill the Crab Legs

    Place the crab legs on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until heated through. The shells will turn a bright orange when done.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the crab legs from the grill and serve them hot with the drawn butter on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley.
