CRAB BOIL IN OVEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Place the 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons oil, onion, celery, red and yellow bell peppers, parsley, capers, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, crab boil seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large saute pan over medium-low heat and cook until the vegetables are soft, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, break the lump crabmeat into small pieces and toss with the bread crumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, and eggs. Add the cooked mixture and mix well. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Shape into bite-sized crab cakes.
• Heat the butter and olive oil for frying over medium heat in a large saute pan. Add the crab cakes and fry for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until browned. Drain on paper towels; keep them warm in a 250 degree oven and serve hot.

Steps:

• First, pour two cups of water into the steamer and bring to the boil.
• Then, place your crab legs inside the steamer basket and wait for water to boil.
• Once the water is boiling, place the steamer basket with the crab legs inside the steamer and set the timer for about 7 minutes.
• Check that the crab legs are cooked by touching them, and if they are hot to the touch and smelling delicious, then they are ready.
• When ready, remove the crab legs from the steamer, and place them on a plate.
• Add some melted butter or extra virgin olive oil with a squeeze of a lemon wedge to serve, or top with garlic butter.
