Categories     main-dish

Time 2h23m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 soft-shell crabs, rinsed and cleaned
2 sticks margarine or butter (margarine will cause less flaring)
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 teaspoons hot sauce
2 small lemons, juiced
4 slices crisp bacon, crumbled
Grilled Vidalia Onions, recipe follows
4 small Vidalia onions

4 cups extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Place the cleaned crabs on plate. Liberally coat the crabs with the sauce, making sure to lift the sides of the shell to coat the meat inside. Save remaining sauce for basting. Cover the crabs and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • Heat grill to medium-low.
  • Place crabs on grill topside down. Baste with remaining sauce while they cook. Cook crabs about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. The crab will crisp on the outside and the meat inside will turn white.
