This is so much easier for us to do than the big pot of water and so tasty! We squeeze a little olive oil (with some Tony C's or Old Bay depending on our mood) down into the big legs and throw a few wood chips on the grill to give them a little smoke. It's all we can do to wait for the platter to come to the patio table before we dive in!

This is absolutely the best way to cookcrab legs. We cannot get fresh ones here, only frozen king crab legs or dungeness crabs so when thawed they are already watery. And we don't need any more steam. I drain then wipe dry and brush them with olive oil and heat on the grill. The water inside of the shells quickly evaporate. I have a jenn air for grilling and the shells are then perfect for cracking, the crab is tasty and ready for sauces or just right out of the shell. I will never cook crab legs any other way!!!
