      Title: BOILED CRABS
 Categories: Cajun, Main dish, Seafood
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      2 ea Lemons, quartered
      8 ea New red potatoes
      4 ea Small ears fresh corn
      4 ea Small yellow onions
      1 c  Salt
    1/2 c  Ground red pepper
    1/2 c  Ground white pepper
    1/2 c  Ground black pepper
     12 ea Live blue crabs
 
  Fill a large (10-quart) stockpot one-third full with water. Add the
  lemons, potatoes, corn, onions, salt, and peppers. Cover and bring to
  a boil over high heat. Let boil for 10 minutes. Add the crabs, (if
  blue crabs are not available, substitute other small to medium
  crabs), cover, and return to boil.  Once steam starts to escape from
  under the cover, let cook for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let
  sit, covered, for 10 minutes more. From Alex Patout's "Cajun Home
  Cooking" Published by Randon House Alex says, "Serves 2 Cajuns, 4
  elsewhere." He writes, "We like to lay out the crabs and vegetables
  on a large table covered with lots of paper and have a feast."
