Smoked Crab Legs
Minimal effort, maximum flavor. You'll make this a go-to recipe when you want to impress guests or just want to splurge for a night - like I did. And will do again in the very near future!
Ingredients
Butter Mop
- 3 Tbsp Butter I used unsalted
- 1 Tbsp Cajun Seasoning
- 1 Tsp Parsley
- 1 Tsp Lemon Juice "Splash"
Snow Crab
- 1 Lb Snow Crab Clusters
Instructions
Butter Mop
- Melt butter, add lemon juice/seasoning/parsley.
Smoked Crab
- Preheat your smoker for 250 degrees using your favorite wood. I'd recommend a soft Apple/Cherry wood.
- Place clusters on the grates and brush lightly with the butter mop. Close lid, smoke for 10 minutes. Repeat until crab has been in the smoke for 30 minutes and are hot to the touch.
- Crack a leg and dine on the limb. I didn't need any additional cocktail sauce, garlic butter or anything - but go crazy! Make your choice ahead of time, cause you're only smoking or about 30 minutes!
