Grilled Soft-Shell Crab With Barbecue Butter
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 3-4 garlic cloves, minced or finely grated
- 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, or to taste
- Juice of half a lemon, or to taste
- 4 soft-shell crabs, cleaned (thawed if frozen)
- Heat your grill until moderately hot OR turn your broiler to high. Position the grill grate or oven rack at least 4 inches from the heat source.
- In a small saucepan or a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. Warm over medium-low heat, or microwave in 15-second bursts, until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm and fragrant. Stir to make sure everything is combined.
- Brush the crabs on both sides with a thin layer of barbecue butter. Grill or broil for 3-4 minutes per side, brushing them occasionally with the barbecue butter. When the crabs are plump, firm, and pink, they're done. Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over the top.
