Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 sheets aluminum foil
3 ½ pounds Alaskan king crab legs
1 lemon, quartered
½ cup butter, divided, or more to taste
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon sea salt, or more to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat grill for medium heat.
  • Lay 4 sheets of aluminum foil on a work surface; place 1 crab leg on each sheet. Squeeze 1 lemon quarter on each crab leg; place squeezed lemon quarter next to each crab leg. Cut 1/4 cup butter into small cubes; dot crab legs. Sprinkle parsley and chopped garlic on each crab leg. Season each crab leg with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Cover each crab leg with remaining sheets of aluminum foil; roll top and bottom edges together to create sealed packets.
