How to cook a crab
Ingredients
- Allow about 500 grams of whole crab per portion.
Instructions
- Unlike a lobster, crab needs to be sleepy before being cooked, otherwise it will "shoot" its claws and legs.
- Put your crab into a pan of cold water and leave for half an hour; this will make the crab sleepy.
- Boil a large pan of salted water, place the crab into the boiling water and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Remove the crab from the water, rinse with cold water and leave to cool, ideally for a couple of hours.
