This is a good one. You need to get LIVE crab for this to work.
Take your live dungeness crab and knock the shell off. Make sure you keep the shell intact. Clean as usual, removing the guts and gills. Pack the body cavity with garlic butter. Now place the shell back on the cleaned crab and wrap in aluminum foil. Place on a HOT grill upside down, with the shell down and the legs up. Cook time is 10-15 min depending on how hot your grill is. This steams the garlic butter so it will penetrate the meat all the way through the legs. I may never boil another crab again.
