We went on a camping trip for a sales pitch on the Chesapeake Bay. We did not plan on crabbing, but while fishing off the pier we managed to catch six good size crabs. I did not have a pot or seasoning for them, so I made do with what I had. This wasn’t the best crab I ever had, but it was darn good for an out-of-the-hat try.
Ingredients
- 6 whole blue crabs
- 1 tablespoon salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 lemon sliced and juice from other half
Instructions
- Get your grill fired up; you want it good and hot. Make two aluminum foil
- packs to wrap around the craps, three crabs to each pack. My crabs were
- alive, this is not easy. If you put the crabs on ice, they will stay still,
- somewhat.
- Lay out lemon slices on the bottom of each pack. Next lay the crabs on top
- of the lemon slices, topped with the dry ingredients and lemon juice. Wrap
- foil tight and place on grill or over campfire. Cook about 20 to 30
- minutes, until the crabs are nice and pink, almost red. Let stand to cool a
- bit before eating.
