Step 1
Put the live
Blue Crabs (3)
in the freezer for an hour or two (longer is fine as well).
Step 2
Combine the
Korean Chili Flakes (3 Tbsp)
,
Soy Sauce (1/4 cup)
,
Rice Wine (2 Tbsp)
,
Corn Syrup (2 Tbsp)
,
Lemon Juice (1 Tbsp)
,
Garlic (1 clove)
,
Fresh Ginger (1/2 Tbsp)
,
Sesame Seeds (1 tsp)
, and
Scallions (1 bunch)
. The seasoning can be prepared a day or two in advance. It will further develop flavor as it sits.
Step 3
Plunge the frozen crabs in cold water to thaw. Separate the top shell and remove the gills. Clean the shell part of the crab thoroughly, with a kitchen brush or a toothbrush, under running water.
Step 4
Break (or cut) the body in half (or quarters). You can cut off the sharp end of each small leg with a pair of kitchen scissors if preferred. Drain well in a colander in the fridge. It’s important to minimize the time that the crabs are out at room temperature.
Step 5
Combine the crabs and seasoning, and toss to coat well. Spoon some sauce into the top shells. Marinate for a few hours at least or up to a couple of days in the fridge. These spicy crabs are best eaten within a couple of days. Enjoy!
