Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Crabs

Fill a large pot with water and add salt. Bring to a boil.

Once boiling, carefully add the live blue crabs to the pot. Cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes until they turn bright blue.

3. Add Seasoning

Stir in the Old Bay seasoning and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

4. Drain and Cool

Remove the crabs from the pot and drain. Let them cool slightly before handling.
