Ingredients

  • Soft crabs (thaw if frozen)
  • Basting sauce (recipes below)

Directions

Soft crabs should be basted liberally and often with sauce while grilling over low heat about 12 inches from coals. Grill about 4 to 5 minutes per side.

Barbecue sauce: Add oil to a favorite barbecue sauce (1 part sauce to 2 parts oil).

White wine marinade: Combine 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil, and 1 teaspoon lemon pepper. Slowly add 3/4 cup dry white wine and beat with a whisk to combine. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes, or up to several hours in the refrigerator, for the flavors to blend.

Seafood baste: Mix together 1/2 cup melted butter, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons minced parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind.
