Step 1

Scrub the crabs with a firm brush to clean.

Step 2

Remove and discard the upper shell - only the body and legs of the crab are used. Do not dislodge the orange crab roe that clings to the inner shell and contents.

Step 3

Cut the body into halves, then each half into 2 or 3 pieces including the legs.

Step 4

In a bowl, mix the remaining marinade ingredients together.

Step 5

Strain the marinade into a bowl, reserving the seasoning ingredients.

Step 6

Mix the crab pieces in the marinade, cover, and place in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours.

Step 7

After 24 hours, add the reserved seasoning ingredients to the crab, mix well, and serve at room temperature.
