 Recipe by: The Maryland Seafood Cookbook.


 


 Dress live crabs see (*) below; thaw crabs if frozen. Liberally baste


 bottom sides of crabs with marinade and carefully p-lace, bottom side down,


 on barbecue grill. Grill over slow fire, at least 12 inches from coals, for


 5 minutes. Liberally baste top of crabs with marinade, turn carefully and


 grill five minutes more. Makes six servings, two crabs each.


 


 (*) To Dress Soft Shell Crabs: Use only live crabs. With a sharp knife, cut


     off "apron" or flap that folds under the rear of the body. Turn the


     crab and cut off the face at a joint just back of the eyes. Lift each


     point at the sides with the fingers, remove the gills, and wash the


     crabs in cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.
