So I ventured to the fresh seafood section of the supermarket for the first time. I had blue crab in mind, but the store was out and only had "Duncenness" Crab.
One crab is pretty meaty and enough for 1-2.
We named them Ted and Fred. Here they are playing ball on my kitchen floor.
Fred played fetch with Linda.
Then we gave them "alone time".
In the mean time, I got a stock pot ready with onions, celery, salt, and lemon. When the water begins to boil, put the crabs into the pot immediately and put a lid over the pot. Cook for 10-12 minutes until shell turns red and claws curl up.
RIP Ted and Fred.

that's really cute..wish i had one too.
Careful with that 'alone' time...you wouldn't want your crabs to, uh, get crabs.
(sorry...I couldn't resist ;)

LOL! I haven't steamed crabs at home in a long time, but your post inspired me to do so soon. Poor Fred and Ted though. hehe.
