Ingredients:

Grill Pan
4 cleaned, cooked, cracked Dungeness crabs
6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 (or more) tablespoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
salt and pepper to taste

Step 1:

Soak 2 handfuls of wood chips in water. (I used mesquite, it's light flavor was an excellent counterpoint to the light sweetness of dungeness crab.) Light a small pile of charcoal briquets in the firebox of your smoker, or start an indirect fire in your grill, by dividing the coal into 2 piles. (You will put the crab over the empty area between the 2 piles)
