I've had this thought in my head that I wanted to try to grill crabs. I've never seen it done, but why not?
We normally get crabs by the hamper for parties, but that is not the time to experiment. So I'm at the grocery store and they had live crabs for sale, by the each. They were a bit small, but I went ahead and bought 6:
I cleaned them and removed the "dead man's fingers". Then I stuck a rectangle of chilled butter in the cavity. I seasoned them with BBQ rub and topped with a little chopped cilantro:
On to the waiting grill:
I let them go until the butter was melted and bubbly:
Here's the money shot:
Notes: These were farking DELICIOUS! :shock: They were also very messy. Next time, I'll look for bigger crabs and I may put them in a pan to catch the butter and juices for dipping.
