I have heard of people boiling ribs for a while in shrimp boil seasoning.
Then take them out and finish them on the grill.
I have never tried that, but it might be good.
I tried that once with ribs and chicken and didn't care for it.
If you're still wanting to try something different try deep frying the ribs (I've only fried feral pork ribs). Cut up your ribs, drop into hot oil (350-375), fry until nice and crisp, remove and season immediately with whatever you like (like you do cracklins). I like em'.
