- 2 dozen crabs
- lemon pepper or Cajun seasonings

Butter will make the meat richer.
Step 6
Flip the crabs and cook for 5 minutes
Step 7
Flip the crabs again, squeeze more butter, and cook an additional 10 minutes
Step 8
Serve with melted garlic butter along with corn and potatoes boiled in seasoned crab boil water. Courtbouillion or catfish stew compliment the dish
