AWESOME Molly! Thanks so much. These were so easy and came out great. I actually made this twice- good sale ion legs- and the second time I added some fresh pressed garlic to the olive oil. mmmmmmmm........ Thanks again for such an easy and yummy recipe.

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!!!

Made the recipe using King crab legs. All I can say is awesome! Far superior than just boiling them with Old Bay. It is cold here now so I cheated and put them under the broiler. Can't wait to try them on the grill. Thanks for the recipe.

Wow! Something so simple yet very different. The "grilled" taste was wonderful. I will never eat crab legs any other way. Thanks!

Great recipe for crab legs! We have a New Year's tradition of crab legs and I love this way of preparing them instead of steaming... which I feel waterlogs them. We already had some steaks on the grill so it was easy to just throw these on. The olive oil makes the shells crispy and really easy to crack. Delicious with a simple garlic butter to dip in... Thanks for posting!!!

Turned out wonderful ! Great recipe and super easy,too -thanks for posting! - to "brush with oilve oil , I used my olive oil sprayer and sprinkled a little Paul Deen House Seasoning on the legs and claws and cooked corn on the cob along with the crab on our gas grill.

I will never boil again!!! I've made King Crab Legs 4 times this way now and it's the easiest way to cook crab legs!!! I don't even bother with the oil step and they are wonderful!! No more heating up the kitchen and trying to cram long legs into a stock pot!! Thanks!!

Very easy way of preparing the crab and since it was our first time eating them, the experience was fun.
