Yield: 6 Servings
| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Dozen crabs |
| 1½ gallon | Water |
| ½ | Box salt |
| 2 | Onions; quartered |
| 3 | Lemons; quartered |
| 1 | Bag crab boil |
| 1 | Bay leaf |
| 1 | Whole garlic; halved |
| 1 | Bottle (small) hot pepper sauce |
| 1 | Green pepper; halved |
| 3 | Ribs celery |
Combine all ingredients except crabs and boil for 1 to 1-½ hours. Purge crabs in fresh running water. Put purged crabs in brew and cover. Let come to a boil. Boil for 20 minutes. Turn off fire and let soak for 10 minutes.
Crabs will be very peppery. If less peppery crabs are desired, use less hot pepper sauce.
