Everyone loves a good crab 🦀 boil, but have you ever had a crab BBQ??? Like a spin on New Orleans style BBQ shrimp, we use that same base to cook our Louisiana blue crabs in and boy is that hitting!!!! Next time you have a bushel of crabs I highly recommend saving a few to make them like this!!!!

2 beers

green onions
-
2 bottles of W sauce
-
2 sticks of butter

French bread for dipping

Directions
-
Start with a metal pan over med heat on the grill. Add 1 stick of butter, onions, peppers, garlic, lemons and sausage. Cook down until soft.
