⅓ cup mayonnaise
The juice of half a lime
1 tsp. Argentina spice
2 tsp maple syrup
1 tbsp finely chopped chives
Method :
Preheat BBQ to 400°F;
Light the burners for indirect cooking;
On the pale part of the crab, cut a rectangle in the shell of the legs using a paring knife (this will allow the flavors to reach the flesh during cooking);
Place the cut lemons on the direct area;
Place the crab sections on the indirect part;
Brush the crab with the flavored butter;
Cook for 3-4 minutes without opening the BBQ lid;
Remove the lemons and keep;
Turn the crab over, brush again and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes;
Brush one last time;
Serve with a squeeze of grilled lemon, remaining flavored butter and/or spicy mayonnaise.
Tips:
For this recipe, the body of the crab is not used; detach the legs before cooking, you can use the carcass for your shellfish stocks;
Calculate 2 to 3 sections of snow crab per person for a complete meal;
If crab is raw, double cooking time (12-15 minutes total);
The crab is ready when it gives off a sweet, mild smell;
Use crab meat in your risottos, sandwiches, pizzas, rolls, stuffed burgers and mac n' cheese...
Use leftover butter to toast croutons and mayonnaise for dips and sandwiches.
Enjoy your food!
