Ingredients
- 6 blue crabs
- 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning, or to taste
- Salt
- 1 cup butter
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh garlic
- 1 cup chopped parsley leaves
Directions
In a large pot with a basket, boil the crabs in boiling water, making sure the water covers the crabs. Add the Old Bay seasoning and salt. Cook the crabs until they are red, approximately 10 minutes, and then let crabs cool to the touch. Crack crabs and remove the lungs, leaving the roe in and claws attached. Crack the crab in 2 sections down the middle. In a deep skillet, melt the butter and add the garlic and parsley. Place the crabs in the butter mixture and then on a platter. Pour remaining butter from skillet onto the crabs before serving.

Wonderfully easy and on par with Garlic Crabs at the Rustic Inn in Ft. Lauderdale. We boiled two dozen crabs and only had to increase the butter to two cups and used six heads of garlic Most southerners would never fix just six crabs! Thanks Paula.
