Recipe of Emeril Lagasse, 2002 – modified by Kevin Greggans

There is nothing like fresh Dungeness crab when the season opens in the San Francisco Bay area!

I modified this recipe and kicked it up another notch! Not so much for spicy seasonings, but more of a savory etouffee flavor. When you combine this with the smoked flavor from the BBQ, it is heaven! You simply can't stop until its all gone! Serve along side with fresh sourdough and your favorite beverage. You can cut the ingredients in half for 2 crabs. I'd say keep the same amount of gaa'lic. :-) Enjoy!

  2. clean and crack crabs and break cleanly in half
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter
  4. Add the garlic and simmer until fragrant, but not brown
  5. Remove from heat and add the remaining ingredients except the green onions
  6. Place the crabs on heavy aluminum foil and bring up the foil to loosely cover the crabs - leave open at the top
  7. Place on grill and pour the seasoned butter over the crabs
  8. Cook until heated through and the edges begin to turn golden - about 15 minutes - baste with the butter several times during cooking
  9. If using a propane BBQ, use your smoke box to add real wood smoke to the cooking process.
  10. In either case, close the lid of the grill a couple times for a few minutes. Do not keep closed the whole time, or the crab will overcook
  11. Remove from grill and serve the crabs with the hot butter sauce and garnish with the green onions.
