CHARLESTON CRAB CRACK



Charleston Crab Crack image

A traditional crab crack is one of my family's favorite things to make when we all get together. After the crab is boiled, you dump it out on a table covered with newspaper and everyone digs in and gets crackin'. A little drawn butter and some homemade cocktail sauce is all you need to serve with the sweet blue crabs.

Time 40m

Yield 2 dozen crabs plus 1 3/4 cups cocktail sauce

Number Of Ingredients 11

Two 12-ounce cans beer
One 6-ounce can seafood seasoning, plus more for serving
2 Vidalia onions, coarsely chopped
2 dozen live blue crabs
Melted butter, for serving
1 1/2 cups ketchup
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
3 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the crabs: Place a large pot of water over medium-high heat outside or indoors. (I like to use a Low Country boil/turkey frying pot.) Add the beer, seafood seasoning and onion and bring to a boil. Boil 10 minutes to season and allow the flavors to develop.
  • For the cocktail sauce: While the water boils, stir together the ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and garlic in a medium bowl. Season with salt if desired.
  • Add the crabs to the boiling water. Cook until the crabs are reddish-orange and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the crabs and spread on a table covered with newspaper or butcher paper. Sprinkle with additional seafood seasoning. Serve with melted butter and the cocktail sauce.

MARINATED CRACKED CRAB



Marinated Cracked Crab image

This is a very simple yet very delicious recipe and meal. My grandparents grew up in the bay area, california. An area that is popular for the dungenees crab. They knew the owner of a local resturant who made this dish for his friends but was not on the menu. They were fortunate to get the recipe. The recipe works best with fresh live crabs but will do well with previously frozen crabs.
