Ultimate Crab Boil image

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

Provided by Ravenseyes

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 32m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 dozen crabs
1/2 cup Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 cup white vinegar
3 large garlic cloves, smashed
2 bay leaves
celery seed
Italian spices
basil
oregano
crushed red bell pepper
kosher salt

Steps:

  • 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 were boiling, you would just add all the ingredients to the pot adding enough water to cover the crabs- bring to a boil and throw in the live crabs. Cook for 12 minutes, drain and allow to rest before devouring.
  • The ingredients that are listed below the bay leaves are all done to taste, using anywhere between 1/4 tsp to 1 tablespoons.
