Shell Lickin' Good

One of our favorite restaurants is Joe's Crab Shack. They have the most delicious barbecue flavored crab ever. It is shell lickin' good! So good you will literally lick the shells clean. I am drooling writing about it. For Father's Day I attempted to recreate it... It was pretty dang close and done for a fraction of what we pay when we go to Joe's. If you love crab you will love this recipe and must try it!

INGREDIENTS:
5 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon MSG
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
*this picture does not do the recipe justice!!!

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Stir together all dry ingredients in a small bowl.
2. Add oil and stir well.
3. Brush generously on steamed crab just before serving.
Makes enough for at least 8 servings. (approx 8-10 kind crab legs)

Ok wait, do you put the sauce on the shells, not on the meat??

the sauce goes on the shell, suprisingly you get just the right amount of flavor on the meat.

that looks awesome! Good for you-sometimes things taste just as good/better at home. I still want to try that cafe rio salad you were telling me about last summer!

Those look amazing. I am thoroughly impressed with your cooking skills. Not that I ever doubted them. Everything I have ever ate that you made has been fabulous.

We should make them again before you leave as a going away party for you---since you went to all that trouble to find MSG! We wouldn't want it to go to waste!
