Preheat the barbecue and place the grill around 6 inches above the heat source as the crabs legs will need to be cooked on a medium heat.

Whilst the barbecue is heating up in a bowl mix together the olive oil and butter and then brush this over the crab legs.

Now place the crab legs on the grill, which you may want to lightly oil as well and close the lid on your barbecue.

Now let the legs cook on the barbecue for between 4 and 5 minutes making sure that halfway through you turn them over.

Once the crab legs are cooked remove from the barbecue and serve them with some fresh crusty bread along with a cocktail or garlic butter sauce.

To make the garlic butter sauce in a sauce pan place 50grams of melted butter with 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped garlic and heat gently.

Doing this will then allow the flavor of the garlic to become infused in the butter.
