Ingredients
1 crab per person
cleaned and separated
body in two pieces
2 cups per crab of tomatoe juice
1/3 cup per crab BBQ sauce
1/2 cup per crab a good red
wine, I like a red zin.
salt & pepper to taste
hot custy french bread with
butter.
(Ex. 4 people = 4 crabs, 8 cups tomato juice, 1 1/3 cup BBQ sauce, 2 cups red wine)
Preparation
Put all the ingredients except the bread & butter in a big pot and boil away. Make sure you stir to often to prevent any sticking and having a lid part of the time is a good idea. You just want to boil on medium to infuse all the flavors. This is normally around an hour and a half for about 3-4 crabs. Serve this in large soup bowl with shell crackers and large spoons. Eat french bread dipped in the broth and it is to die for. It’s a good idea to serve this from the stove to make sure each person’s got two body parts 2 claws and a handful of legs (6) and don’t forget the broth!
