Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons dill seed
-
2 tablespoons mustard seed
-
2 tablespoons cumin seed
-
2 tablespoons chili powder
-
2 tablespoons paprika
-
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
-
2 sprigs rosemary
-
10 sprigs thyme
-
3 sprigs dill
-
2 sprigs sage
-
½ bunch parsley
-
30 live, hard-shell blue crabs
Directions
-
Crush dill seed, mustard, and cumin in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle. Pour the spices into a 5 gallon stockpot; add chili powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, rosemary, thyme, dill, sage, and parsley. Fill the pot 3/4 full with water, and bring to a rolling boil over an intense flame.
-
Add blue crabs, cover the pot, and boil until all of the shells turn red, and the meat is no longer translucent, about 20 minutes. Stir the crabs occasionally as they boil to ensure even cooking.
