Preparation steps

Rinse artichokes and slice tops off, crosswise. Trim Stems.

Fill a large saucepan 3/4 full with water and add 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 teaspoon salt. Add artichokes, cover and bring water to a rapid boil. Turn off heat and let artichokes sit covered for about 7 to 9 minutes or until bottoms pierce easily. Drain artichokes. Cool. Cut each artichoke in half lengthwise and scrape out fuzzy center (choke) and trim any purple tipped petals.

In a small bowl combine remaining lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper. Brush the artichoke halves with the lemon juice and oil mixture, reserving any remaining oil.

Prepare grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium-high heat.

Meanwhile prepare stuffing. Melt butter in a medium skillet, add green onions and red peppers and saute until peppers are tender. Combine sauteed ingredients with parsley, bread crumbs, crab meat, seasonings and Parmesan cheese.

Brush the grill grate with oil. Place artichokes cut side down on indirect heat on the grill grate and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, brushing with reserved oil. Turn artichoke halves over and gently press generous spoonful of crab stuffing into each cavity. Continue cooking for 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to plates and serve with lemon wedges.
