Yield Make enough so that each person has 1 crab.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 crab per person
cleaned and separated
body in two pieces
2 cups per crab of tomatoe juice
1/3 cup per crab BBQ sauce
1/2 cup per crab a good red
wine, I like a red zin.
salt & pepper to taste
hot custy french bread with
butter.
(Ex. 4 people = 4 crabs, 8 cups tomato juice, 1 1/3 cup BBQ sauce, 2 cups red wine)

Steps:

  • Put all the ingredients except the bread & butter in a big pot and boil away. Make sure you stir to often to prevent any sticking and having a lid part of the time is a good idea. You just want to boil on medium to infuse all the flavors. This is normally around an hour and a half for about 3-4 crabs. Serve this in large soup bowl with shell crackers and large spoons. Eat french bread dipped in the broth and it is to die for. It's a good idea to serve this from the stove to make sure each person's got two body parts 2 claws and a handful of legs (6) and don't forget the broth!

JOE'S CRAB SHACK BBQ CRAB

My waitress said that I'd be tempted to lick the shells clean from my order of "BBQ Style" Dungeness crab at Joe's Crab Shack. She was right. Even though its called "BBQ" on the menu, there's no grilling involved here. Instead, a super flavorful seasoning paste is brushed on steamed crab of your choice just before it's served to your table. With that bit of knowledge under my belt, the only thing I had to figure out was how to clone that seasoning. When I analyzed a sample of the dark red paste I first noticed the distinctive flavor of Old Bay. That's a good start. After adding a lot of salt to the blend along with paprika for color I was definitely heading in the right direction. But the taste was missing something until I invited a little MSG to the dance. You'll find it in the spice aisle of your supermarket under the brand-name Accent. After just a bit of sugar and a touch of cayenne pepper for extra zing, I had a dry rub that was a dead ringer for the original blend. Now it was just a matter of adding some vegetable oil to the seasoning to create a paste that could be brushed on Dungeness crab, snow crab, or king crab legs after the crab is fully steamed. Next time you have a crab cookout, give this one a try and you too will serve crab that's "shell lickin' good." Source: "Top Secret Restaurant Recipes 3" by Todd Wilbur.
