Dungeness Crabs

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preparing the Crabs

    Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add 1/2 cup of Old Bay seasoning to the boiling water.

    Carefully add the Dungeness crabs to the boiling water. Cover the pot and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the crabs turn bright orange.

    Draining the Crabs

    Use tongs to remove the crabs from the pot and place them on a platter.

    While the crabs are cooking, prepare the Old Bay Boardwalk Fries according to package instructions or fry your own potatoes.
