My Grilled Crab

Today I liked to write a post on my grilled crab recipe which I have made some time back.

Here's the ingredients we will need:
- 2 large crabs
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons of good olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of minced ginger
- some bruised red chilli without seeds
- 1 tablespoon of finely chopped coriander
- 1-2 chopped tomato

To prepare the crabs, bring to boil a large pot of water. Put the crabs, one at a time, head first into the boliling water. Let it boil and then simmer it for 5 minutes. Remove crabs from the water. To clean the crabs, pull of triangular tab from belly. Lift off the shell. Clean entrails and gills from crab, wash then drain.

Next we make our special sauce mix. Mix and stir white wine vinegar, olive oil, ginger, chilli, coraindar and tomato into a bowl.


Place the crabs on a preheated grill. Cooked with the lid closed, brushing them with our sauce mix occasionally. Turn the crabs over after 5 mins and apply mix. Leave it in the grill for another 5mins. Crabs are done when the meat in the leg is opaque.


Place on serving dish and spoon remaining mixture over crabs. You may grill some sweet corns to go along with this dish. And of course some wine to go along.
