1
Prepare the Crab
Fill a large pot with water and add salt. Bring to a boil.
2
Cook the Crab
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the live Dungeness crabs. Cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes until the crabs turn bright orange.
3
Prepare the Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in chopped parsley and remove from heat.
4
Serve
Remove the crabs from the pot and let them cool slightly. Serve hot with lemon wedges and garlic butter sauce for dipping.
