I steam live crab rather than boiling it, and the difference in flavor

making a very very dilute seafood stock. When you steam, all the flavor
stays inside.


steaming crabs is the only way to go for this maryland boy, not only for
loss of flavor but texture. i haven't tried it with shrimp, but i
should.


Grilled is good for lobster, crab, shrimp, mussels, clams, etc.
