Dungeness Crab With Butter

- 15 min to make
- Serves 2
November 15th each year the crab season opens in NorCal. I try to get my hands on a fresh local crab as soon as possible. There are many recipes for crab out there, but for me, the best way to eat it is just plain cooked/steamed with hot butter and some bread.
Ingredients
- 1 Dungeness crab, fresh, cooked, cleaned and cracked shopping list
- butter, melted shopping list
- sourdough bread shopping list
How to make it
- Have the fishmonger clean and crack the crab ( I usually do that at home by myself, to get the tomalley or crabbutter ). Put it in a steamer basket and steam over boiling water for 5 min or so, just to heat it through. In the meantime, melt some butter.
- To serve, I like to keep the crab in the steaming vessel to keep it warm. Put some bread on the table. Everybody gets some butter in a small bowl, some lobster silverware (( small thin forks to get in all the crannies ) and let the feast begin ...
- I save the shells to make a nice shellfish stock.
