Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use a sharp knife to remove the membrane from the ribs, as it can be tough and make the ribs difficult to cook through.
• If you don't have smoked paprika, you can substitute regular paprika for a slightly less smoky flavor.
• Let the ribs rest before slicing and serving to allow them to reabsorb some of their juices for maximum tenderness.
