Copycat Boiling Crab Recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 F.

Step 2

Line a roasting pan with a wire rack. Pour the beer into the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place in the oven to preheat for 15 minutes, just long enough for the beer to warm and begin steaming.

Step 4

Once steaming, add the crab legs, corn, potatoes, and sausages to the pan.

Step 5

Cover with foil, return to the oven, and steam for 1 hour, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 6

Meanwhile, place the butter, lemon juice, garlic, Old Bay, Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper seasoning, hot sauce, and honey in a medium saucepan.

Step 7

Warm over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter has melted and the garlic is fragrant and tender, about 8–10 minutes. Keep warm.

Step 8

Once the pan has steamed, remove it from the oven and remove the foil.

Step 9

Divide the crab legs, sausage, potatoes, and corn between 4 zip-top plastic bags.

Step 10

Add a couple spoonfuls of the sauce to each of the bags.

Step 11

Seal the bags and shake to coat the ingredients in the sauce.

Step 12

Transfer all of the ingredients to a serving tray or platter. Garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with any remaining sauce on the side for dipping.
