Barbequed Crabs Recipes

B.B.Q. GARLIC CRAB

Steps:

• Lightly cook the garlic in the olive oil in a saute pan (about 2 to3 minutes on medium-low heat). Allow to cool.
• Add the crab and toss with the salt and pepper.
• Preheat the grill to high, carefully place all the marinated crab onto the grill, allowing the oil to drip off before putting onto the grill, and cover with lid. Allow to cook about 4 to 5 minutes then turn over and allow to cook another 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove from the grill, and place into a large metal bowl. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the crab and toss well.
• Serve on a large platter with fresh lemon wedges and chopped Italian parsley.

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.
