Step 1

Preheat. Preheat your grill to 225 degrees F for indirect cooking.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Enjoy. Serve immediately with more of the hot, melted seasoned butter and fresh lemon wedges.
