How to boil a crab Eastern Woodland style:
6 blue crabs
2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning, or to taste
Sea Salt
1 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped fresh garlic
1 cup chopped parsley leaves
In a large pot with a basket, boil the crabs in boiling water, making
sure the water (or beer) covers the crabs. Add the Old Bay seasoning
and salt. Cook the crabs until they are red, approximately 10 minutes,
and then let crabs cool to the touch. Crack crabs and remove the
lungs, leaving the roe in and claws attached. Crack the crab in 2
sections down the middle. In a deep skillet, melt the butter and add
the garlic and parsley. Place the crabs in the butter mixture and then
on a platter. Pour remaining butter from skillet onto the crabs before
serving.
