Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 pounds king crab legs (split lengthwise)
1 cup salted butter (melted)
4 Tablespoons basil (chopped)
8 cloves garlic (minced)
2 lemons (juiced)
2 Tablespoons Sweet Rub (recipe in notes)

Steps:

  • Preheat. Preheat your grill to 225 degrees F for indirect cooking.
  • Split the legs. Split your crab legs by cutting them lengthwise using a pair of sharp kitchen shears. Remove any shell fragments. Set the legs split side up on a baking sheet.
  • Season the crab. Combine all ingredients for the seasoned garlic butter in a bowl. Spoon the butter over the exposed meat of the crab. Reserve any additional butter for serving with the finished crab.
  • Grill. Place the split crab legs on the grill grates, shell side down. Close the lid and cook for 25-30 minutes or until the crab is heated through.
  • Enjoy. Serve immediately with more of the hot, melted seasoned butter and fresh lemon wedges.
