- 6 pounds king crab legs split lengthwise
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.
