How long to I cook crab legs on the grill?

Answer 1

Over medium coals for about 10 - 15 minutes, turning with tongs a couple of times. You can also lay crab legs in a single layer on a large piece of foil, then sprinkle with minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, butter & lemon wedges. Seal foil into packet & grill over medium coals......We do these at least once a month or more & they turn out yummy!!

Answer 2

I prefer to bake them - it's way easier and I think they aren't as messy when you do them in the oven. Heat your oven to 350 degrees. To make the meat easier to get out of the shells, I give the legs some hits with a meat cleaver. Alternatively, you can cut the shells open in places with some kitchen shears. For big king Crab legs, you need about 10 minutes. Smaller legs like snow crab take about 7 minutes. Cook them on something like a cookie sheet with raised edges (to catch any liquids)

Answer 3

Crab legs you buy commercially are already cooked. You just need to heat them through. I would put them over a medium heat and turn once. Break off one to insure they are thoroughly warmed through and enjoy!

Answer 4

Both King crab and Snow crabs are already cooked so its just a matter of heating them thoroughly.
