Method
Preparation
- 1
Clean the Crab
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the live crabs carefully, ensuring they are fully submerged. Boil for about 5 minutes. Remove the crabs from the pot and allow them to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, clean the crabs by removing the gills, the stomach sac, and any other inedible parts.

Marinate the Crab
Place the cleaned crabs in a large dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the crabs, making sure they are well coated. Allow the crabs to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
