Grilled Alaskan King Crab

Grilled Alaskan king crab is a killer dish to impress your friends. Grilling crab gives it a spectacular flavor, with the hint of smoke while the delicate seafood steams in the shell.

Serve this crab alongside the melted herb butter for a simple presentation. If you like, offer your guests other sauces, like aioli, mayonnaise, or your favorite dipping sauce. You can also serve the crab legs with grilled carrots, squash, asparagus, or pineapple.

Eating crab can be a messy business, so be sure to lay down some newspaper on the table and offer plenty of napkins alongside your crab crackers.
