Notes
Tips for this recipe:
1. Adjust the garlic and seasoning to your liking. This recipe creates a mild flavor. If you are looking for more of a cajun experience then double or triple the seasoning and garlic.
2. Keep the cooking liquid until you have finished eating. I found myself dipping my crab in the seasoning, garlic, lemon for added flavor.
3. Buy crab crackers and splitters. I bought mine on Amazon and they are a life saver.
4. Eat the knuckle meat. Ok, so I'll be the first to admit that the legs are the best part and the knuckle often gets left until there are no more legs. Don't forget about the knuckle. There is so much crab meat in their, it's crazy. I have started pulling the knuckle meat out and putting it in the butter to hang out until I have finished the legs.
5. Be sure to take the trash out after dinner. If you leave the crab leg scraps in the trash overnight, you will regret it. The smell....it's not good the next day!
