Chai-Grilled Alaska Snow Crab
Elevate your Snow Crab with a chai tea marinade and a quick grill! With just a few ingredients and a short cooking time, this is one of our favorite ways to prepare this meat.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2-3 cups prepared chai tea
- 4 pounds Alaska Snow Crab clusters, frozen
- Prep time
- 20 minutes
- Cook time
- 10 minutes
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Transfer packet to grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with grilled seasonal vegetables and a little more melted butter for dipping.
