BBQ Crab Thoughts?

As a kid we used to go the Crab Festival in Crystal Beach Texas beach each summer. I remember eating the hell out of BBQ crabs. Found this recipe online, anyone have experience cooking BBQ crabs?
BBQ CRAB
All crab loving men like love this recipe!
About 2 dozen blue crab (or other crab will do)
Kosher or sea salt
Cayenne pepper
1 pound of butter (4 sticks)
3 Tablespoons of liquid crab or shrimp boil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 Tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning mix
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 Teaspoon paprika
6 large lemons, quartered
Clean the crab thoroughly, and then crack the claws but do not remove the shells.
Sprinkle the crabs generously with the salt & cayenne.
Mix the butter, liquid boil, lemon pepper, garlic powder, worcestershire, and paprika in a saucepan.
Squeeze the lemons, and add the juice and the lemons to the pan, mix well, and heat the butter mixture over low heat until the butter is melted.
Take your basting brush and brush about 1/3 of the sauce all over the crabs.
Place the crabs, cavity side down on your grill or barbecue pit over a medium to low fire.
Close the lid and cook for about 10 minutes.
Tuen the crabs over and fill the cavities with more of the butter sauce.
Close the lid (at this point the smell is wonderful) and allow to cook for another 10- 15 minutes. This will vary according to your heat and size of your crab.
When ready brush the remaining butter sauce on the crabs & serve & enjoy!
Pass the ice cold beer!

I think that is a colossal waste of a perfectly good crab. Crabmeat is sweet and succulent. The less you do, the better it is.

i am a big fan of treating certain ingredients with a delicate hand, but split crabs on a BBQ with a very light char, and baste with a citrus/fresh herb/butter is damn tasty. Easy on the salt and cook time though.

I wouldn't say pissed, just dissapointed that a state that loves food so much would overpower crabmeat. You might as well throw Krab in there.

La palates use crab in so many ways...it's all good, just some folks are more partial to one style or preparation than another. Luckily, I've lead such a clean and chaiste life, I've never had a crab I didn't like...

My hubby loves the way I prepare some blue points for the bbq. For a dozen select cleaned and dressed crabs,
10-15 cloves of garlic finely minced.
1 stick butter melted
3 Tablespoons worchestershire sauce.
Place crab on a cookie sheet and season with white pepper and cayenne. Then spread the garlic and butter mixture over all of the crabs. Let crabs marinate for about an hour before putting them on a hot grill. Cook til done.
