Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

2 ea Lemons, quartered 1/2 c Ground red pepper
8 ea New red potatoes 1/2 c Ground white pepper
4 ea Small ears fresh corn 1/2 c Ground black pepper
4 ea Small yellow onions 12 ea Live blue crabs
1 c Salt

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."
