Sometimes the messiest recipes are the most satisfying to eat. Chunky crab claws are given a lick of smoke then tossed with an intense sauce, which will have you licking your fingers and asking for extra napkins. You can also cook the crab claws on a griddle pan, but the smoke of a barbecue infuses the meat with bags of flavour.

  • 4 tbsp of chilli garlic sauce
  • 1 tbsp of chilli oil, with sediment
