Ultimate Crab Boil
From ravenseyes 17 years ago
- 27 minutes to make
- Serves 10
We live by the water and crabbing season usually starts in late April and ends the end of October. This recipe contains the best of the best - the crab is tender and very flavorful
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 dozen crabs shopping list
- 1/2 cup Old Bay Seasoning shopping list
- 1/2 cup white vinegar shopping list
- 3 large garlic cloves smashed shopping list
- 2 bay leaves shopping list
- the remaining ingredients I am simply going to state we just kind of do the heap in the hand method shopping list
- celery seed shopping list
- italian seasonings shopping list
- basil shopping list
- oregano shopping list
- red crushed peppers shopping list
- kosher salt shopping list
How to make it
- When we have a small catch we usually will steam the crabs instead of boiling - this would simply mean you place the vinegar in the bottom of the pot and add 2 - 3 cups of water just to get a steam going - the vinegar helps the crab meat come out of the shell easier. Steam for approximately 27 minutes. If you where boiling you would just add all the indgredients to the pot adding enough water to cover the crabs- bring to a boil and through in the live crabs. Cook for 12 minutes, drain and allow to rest before devouring.
