Chat Icon yup we do this alot in the summer.

You clean them first & then you boil them. Then you put them in a lasagna type alumium pan.
Add evoo,white wine ,garlic, lemon juice & slices, lime juice & slices, some herbs , say oregano, parsley s&p, maybe some basil too..
Cover it & then pasically cook it thru on the grill,,, They are so good ,
Play around with the herbs .

i usually eyeball it for the amount of crabs i make. I usually get 2- 3 dozen crabs , basically you want it juicy ish. i hope that helps



how do you clean the crab first? i am sure this is a stupid question but I have never made crab before, it sounds delicous! thanks

you boil them for a few min . then take them out of the hot water & run cold water over them ( i do this in the sink ) you baiscally snap the crab in half & you take the top shell off. clean out the goook insisde, i hate that stuff. & then you contimue to cook it on the grill
