Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork baby back ribs
- 2 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Liquid smoke
- 1.5 cups BBQ sauce
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
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!
