GRILLED KING CRAB LEGS

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.
• Cook packets on preheated grill until crab legs are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 20 minutes.
• Melt remaining butter in a small saucepan over low heat; serve with crab.
