Ingredients

• Fresh crab - 500 grams
• Soy sauce (gluten-free) - 3 tablespoons
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Shaoxing wine - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions, chopped - 2 stalks
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Red chili flakes - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 50 milliliters

Steps

1. Clean the fresh crab thoroughly under cold water and remove the shell, gills, and any inedible parts.
2. In a bowl, mix together the gluten-free soy sauce, honey, Shaoxing wine, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, red chili flakes, black pepper, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
3. Place the cleaned crab in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the crab is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated crab on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, basting with leftover marinade.
5. During the last few minutes of grilling, sprinkle chopped green onions over the crab for added flavor.
6. Once cooked, remove the crab from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Serve the Shanghai BBQ Crab hot, garnished with extra green onions and lemon wedges on the side.
