Cook time: 10 minutes

Instructions

Defrost the crab overnight in the fridge.
Set up your grill for medium-high direct heat.
Preheat a cast iron pan on the grill. To create a compound butter sauce, add all ingredients but the crab, stir and allow butter to melt.
Grill the crab 3 minutes per side — just enough to slightly char and impart some smokey flavor (reminder you're just warming it through, the crab comes pre-cooked).
After grilling, toss the crab into the butter lemon mixture. Let the sauce bubble and then reduce for approximately 3 minutes over the direct heat. Be sure to thoroughly coat every piece of crab in the sauce.
Serve immediately with lemon, and grilled sourdough.
