What should I make with Crabs and lobsters?

Next weekend, me and my wife will have the house to ourselves, well including the toddler... But he doesn't like shellfish. We want to go to the Asian market and pick out some crabs and 2 lobsters, I've never cooked crabs before, what would I do? Just as add old bay and butter? Any other suggestions??

I would boil them up. Big pot with spices and assorted other stuff. Get a pouch of Crab Boil or make you own.

The lobsters should be alive and the crabs as well. I usually steam lobsters in my huge stock pot. You can put a wooden or metal rack in the bottom of the pot...or even stack forks and spoons...pour in water, to about 3" and boil until steam is created, and then steam for 20 minutes. I have heard of crab boils where you just add your seasonings to the boiling water.
