Method

Crab Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crabs

    Fill a large pot with 4 liters of water, add the salt and Old Bay seasoning, and bring it to a boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Crabs

    Once the water is boiling, carefully add the whole blue crabs to the pot. Cover the pot and return to a boil. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the crabs turn bright orange and are fully cooked.

  3. 3

    Drain and Cool

    Using tongs, remove the crabs from the pot and place them in a colander to drain. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Dipping Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Add Garlic

    Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

  3. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and chopped parsley. Serve warm alongside the crabs.
