BARBECUED CRABS

BARBECUED CRABS

I learned to cook this dish by accident. We were at the beach and I was the one assigned to cook the foods that will be served in the party. Some locals went to me and offered me crabs and other shell fishes. I was more interested in the crabs because crabs are easy to cook. I got the crabs and started experimenting on how to cook it. Enough about the crab story and lets get down to the cooking proper. For this dish, here are the ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
1 tbsp + 3/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp + 3/4 table salt
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3 lbs whole crab or king crabs will do.

For the cooking process, we need to preheat out door oven or grill over medium heat and brush grill lightly with oil. This make the crab stick less in the grill. In medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Mix garlic powder, salt and Worcestershire sauce.

Remove the legs of the crab. Pull apart from shells and remove the crab meat. Loosely wrap crab meat and legs in aluminum foil and place on preheated grill. Unwrap slightly and coat with butter mixture. Cook until pink and flaky 15 to 20 minutes.
