How to cook soft-shelled crabs
A while back I bought a package of about 6 soft-shelled blue crabs, put it in the freezer. I feel like fixing crabs now. Any good ideas? Not a crab sandwich, please.

I grew up around the blue crabs too. They're a lot more feisty than the orange/red ones. 😊
We like to get a bunch of them and boil them in a pot with corn on the cob. The corn picks up the flavor of the crab. You can add any kind of seasoning you like. It's goooood! You should cook large crabs (about 2lb) for around 15 – 20 minutes, whilst smaller crabs will only need around 8 – 10 minutes. The corn takes about 5 to 7 minutes, but we throw them both together. Get the water boiling FIRST. 😋
