Boiling Blue Manna Crabs
Method:
1: Bring a large pot of water to the boil and approximately 2 tablespoons of salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Once water is at the boil place crabs in the pot upside down.
DO NOT TURN DOWN THE HEAT
2: Cook for approximately 5-8 mins. Once they start floating & are a very vibrant orange colour it is a good indicator to tell they are cooked.
3: Once crabs have reached this point, take them off heat and place them into cold/ice water.
4: Let sit for 5-10 mins & then clean the crabs.
5: Clean crabs by lifting the flap underneath them and removing the top shell, then rinse under cold water briefly and remove the mouth parts and gills.
Boiling Crayfish, Prawns and Mud Crabs
Method:
Prawns, Crayfish/Lobster & Mud Crabs use the same method of cooking in steps 1 to 4, however, prawns are left on the boil for approximately 5 mins (or until a vibrant orange/pink). Crayfish/Lobster & Mud Crabs are left on the boil for about 15 minutes, depending on the size (or until a vibrant orange)
