A luscious blend of BBQ sauce, honey, and zesty lemon adds a sweet tangy glaze that infuses every bite with bold, finger-licking flavor. For the ultimate finishing touch, broil the ribs for a caramelized, slightly charred crust that takes their texture and taste to the next level. This easy, one-pot recipe delivers fall-off-the-bone results with minimal effort, making it a go-to for stress-free comfort food. Serve alongside cornbread and coleslaw to complete this classic barbecue feast!
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for easier seasoning and maximum tenderness. Rinse the ribs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder. Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs.
Place the ribs in the crock pot, curling them along the edges if necessary to fit properly.
Drizzle the liquid smoke over the ribs to add a smoky flavor.
In another bowl, combine BBQ sauce, honey, and lemon zest. Stir until well mixed, then pour the mixture evenly over the ribs, ensuring they are coated thoroughly.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours, or on high heat for 4 hours, until the ribs are tender and easily pull apart with a fork.
Optional: For a caramelized finish, preheat your broiler to high. Remove the ribs from the crock pot and place them on a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush with additional BBQ sauce and broil for 2-3 minutes until the sauce bubbles and slightly chars.
Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as cornbread, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables. Enjoy your Seashells Crock Pot BBQ Ribs!
