     1/3   c            Olive oil
                        Salt and pepper -- to taste
   2       ts           Tomato paste
   4                    Ears white corn -- unshucked

  Mix the olive oil with the tomato paste, garlic, salt, pepper, and
  hot pepper paste. Set aside. Place the corn on a charcoal grill for
  about 15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. Remove to a warm spot.
  Brush the crabs with some of the oil mixture and grill for
  4 minutes per side, until lightly browned and the edges of the
  shell have slightly charred. Shuck the corn and serve two crabs and
  an ear of corn to each dinner. Serve the extra spiced oil mixture
  as a dip for the crab and to be brushed on the corn.

  Makes 4 servings

  Note: If using live hard shelled crabs, boil them first in a large
  pot of water seasoned with several tb of crab boil (a spice blend)
  until all the crabs are bright red, about 10 minutes. Then proceed
  as instructed for cooked crabs.
