Method

Preparation

1

Clean the Crab

If using live crab, place them in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to numb them. Then, rinse them under cold water and remove any gills or debris.

2

Prepare Butter Mixture

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Cooking

Cook the Crab

Place the cleaned crab in a large pot of boiling water. Add Old Bay seasoning and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the crab is bright red.

4

Combine Ingredients

Once the crab is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it drain. Then, combine the crab with the butter mixture, lemon juice, and chopped parsley in a large bowl. Toss gently to coat.

5

Add Optional Ingredients

If desired, add red pepper flakes and hot sauce to the crab mixture for extra flavor.
