Both ways with a small amount of crabs, 25 or less I clean them, Jo and steam.

More than that takes me to long and I just steam them up with JO spice. Always delicious and cooking with the mustard adds its own flavor.

As far as Flavor the cleaned crabs get so much more spice in the meat they just taste better.

If you like crabs and spagati sauce, or garlic and butter crabs you have just got to try cleanning them first!

Just one more plus for cleanning them first I think the meat pulls out with the legs a little more often.

Now I did grow up in NJ and learned to prepare these dishes from an old Italian woman she was a great cook.

Funny thing about this  Undecided  The first time I ever made sauce with crabs I didn't cleam them just threw them in there.  It wasn't bad......wasn't great but wasn't bad.

People used to think the world was flat(that's what they always believed) until they found out that wasn't right....


Moral of the story:  Just because something was done a certain way for years and years doesn't make it right.

Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cold beer and crabs!  Shocked Shocked Shocked Who cares if they are cleaned first, as long as there is cold beer.
 I pull the shells off and remove the lungs, I leave every thing else. Seems to get spices on the crab better. Use less spice also! Wink
