CHARLESTON CRAB CRACK
A traditional crab crack is one of my family's favorite things to make when we all get together. After the crab is boiled, you dump it out on a table covered with newspaper and everyone digs in and gets crackin'. A little drawn butter and some homemade cocktail sauce is all you need to serve with the sweet blue crabs.

Steps:
- For the crabs: Place a large pot of water over medium-high heat outside or indoors. (I like to use a Low Country boil/turkey frying pot.) Add the beer, seafood seasoning and onion and bring to a boil. Boil 10 minutes to season and allow the flavors to develop.
- For the cocktail sauce: While the water boils, stir together the ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and garlic in a medium bowl. Season with salt if desired.
- Add the crabs to the boiling water. Cook until the crabs are reddish-orange and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the crabs and spread on a table covered with newspaper or butcher paper. Sprinkle with additional seafood seasoning. Serve with melted butter and the cocktail sauce.

Tips:
- For the best crab cobbler, use fresh crab meat. If you don't have access to fresh crab, you can use frozen crab meat, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Be sure to season the crab meat well. Old Bay seasoning is a classic choice, but you can also use other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
- Don't overcook the crab. Crab meat is delicate and cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
- Serve the crab cobbler hot with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or hush puppies.
Conclusion:
Crab cobbler is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're having a casual weeknight dinner or a special gathering, crab cobbler is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish that is both flavorful and satisfying, give crab cobbler a try.
