Anybody got any good recipes for crabs?

Had some of this yesterday.


Crab Stew Recipe:
Clean and segment crabs. Count on 6 medium size crabs per person.

In a large pot start a 1 to 1 oil/butter and flour rioux. Cook until the color of your shoe tops (really that is how I learned it). It is actually a rich brown gravy color. The darker the rioux, the richer the flavor, but you are playing chicken with it, so be careful.

Cut and dice 2 large onions and 12 cloves of garlic.

As soon as the rioux is the right color add the onions and garlic and stir constantly for about 3 minutes to sweat them.

Add in the crab bodies and claws. Stir and coat crabs with the mixture.

Add hot water to the pot and leave about an inch below covering the crabs. The water from the crabs will provide more water than you think.

Bring back to a boil and add salt, black pepper( the more the better), and cajun seasoning to taste.

Reduce heat to a simmer, and stir occasionally. Cook for about 2-3 hours.

Serve the stew over white rice with garlic bread and salad and sweet tea.

Just steam or boil them in Old bay. Pick them and use the lumps to go over a nice grilled rib eye or tenderloin steak with Bearnaise sauce. Steamed asparagus with shaved almonds and maybe some Garlic mashed taters.
