Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Crabs

Fill a large pot with 4 quarts of water and add 1 cup of sea salt. Bring to a boil.

Cook the Crabs

Once the water is boiling, add the Florida stone crabs. Boil for about 8-10 minutes.

Prepare the Butter Sauce

While the crabs are cooking, melt 1 cup of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and Old Bay seasoning, mixing well.

Serve

Once the crabs are cooked, remove them from the pot and let them cool slightly. Crack the claws and serve with the garlic butter sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
