Steamed Dungeness Crab Clusters Recipe

Ingredients:

5 Ounce Dungeness Crab Clusters (thawed if frozen)

Salt (for seasoning the water)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Melted butter (for dipping)

Equipment:

Large pot with a lid

Steamer basket or rack

Tongs

Instructions:

Prepare the Crab:

If your crab clusters are frozen, thaw them in the
refrigerator overnight. Rinse them under cold water to remove any ice or
debris.

Prepare the Pot:

Fill a large pot with about an inch of water. Add a pinch of
salt to the water for added flavor.

Place a steamer basket or rack inside the pot, ensuring the
water level is just below the basket.

Heat the Water:

Cover the pot with its lid and bring the water to a rolling
boil over high heat.

Steam the Crab:

Once the water is boiling, carefully place the crab clusters
into the steamer basket using tongs. Avoid overcrowding the pot; steam in
batches if necessary.

Cover the pot with the lid and let the crab steam for about
5-7 minutes. The crab is done when it's heated through and emits a fragrant,
oceanic aroma.

Check for Doneness:

Carefully remove a crab cluster using tongs and check if
it's heated through. It should be hot to the touch. Avoid overcooking, as this
can make the crab meat tough.

Serve:

Serve the steamed crab clusters immediately with lemon
wedges and a side of melted butter for dipping.

Enjoy:

Crack the shells, extract the succulent meat, and enjoy the
fresh, sweet flavors of the Dungeness crab, complemented by the tangy lemon and
rich butter.

Tips:

You can add herbs, beer, or wine to the steaming water for
additional flavor.

Remember to provide tools for cracking the crab, such as
crab crackers and picks, to make the dining experience enjoyable.

Enjoy your meal!
