Separate the cooked crab legs and claws from the bodies. Clean out the
broad back shells, removing and discarding the softer belly shells and
insides. Thoroughly rinse and brush the inside and outside of each crab
shell; set aside.
Crack the claws and legs and remove all the crab meat, transferring it to a
mixing bowl as you go; discard leg shells.
Mix celery, onion, peppers, mayonnaise, and lemon juice with crab meat,
adding salt and pepper to taste.
Equally distribute portions (about 1 cup each) into the shells. Cover the
meat mixture in each shell with bread crumbs or dry stuffing mix and
sprinkle cheese over all.
Wrap the shell completely with tinfoil, leaving only a small vent in the
top. Place the packets on a medium grill with the open side of the vented
tinfoil shells facing up.
Cover and let cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.
Kitchen Staff Tip: To cook your crabs, simply toss the leggy creatures into
a large stock pot of boiling water and boil until the meat has turned from
translucent to an opaque white color. This usually requires about 10
minutes at a furious boil; then drain and cool before handling.
