November 16, 2020

Elevate snow crab with a chai tea marinade and a quick grill. A few ingredients, a short cook time, and a uniquely warm, spiced finish.

Method

Directions

1
Mix the salt and butter into the chai tea – the salt will balance out some of the sweetness in the tea and the butter will give it some depth.
2
Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska snow crab under cold water; pat dry with paper towels. Marinate crab in chai for 15 to 20 minutes, to allow flavor into shells.
3
Preheat grill to 400ºF. Tear an 18-inch sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil so that it is 4 inches longer than the seafood. Spray-coat the dull side of the foil; place crab on foil with some of the marinade. Bring the sides of the foil together and fold over several times to seal, leaving room for air circulation inside.
4
Transfer packet to grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with grilled seasonal vegetables and a little more melted butter for dipping.
