Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Pictured is the bulk of what you'll need for 2.5 servings. If choosing to steam your own legs - steam with lemon, garlic and white wine. When you can smell your legs - they're done. The Dungeness Crab will take 7 to 8 minutes per pound if choosing to steam. More seafood was served but this was all my students could fit into frame.

* Step 2

Start your corn cobs. Add equal parts milk and water. Milk adds sweetness to corn. Add enough fluid to cover your corn. Also, add your butter. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Watch your pot as the milk can cause it foam up and overflow.

* Step 3

Make your marinade and coat all seafood generously with it. Not much is needed.

* Step 4

Scewer your Jumbo Shrimp, marinate and refrigerate. Also, add a few dashes of lemon pepper to your shrimp.

* Step 5

It's time to grill! Clean grill, spray with non stick spray and heat. Here you're only heating your King Crab Legs and Dungeness Crab. Try to keep your temp at 400° However, you'll be grilling your shrimp. Over direct heat, grill for 5 to 7 minutes turning occasionally until shrimp is pink on the outside and opaque on the inside..

* Step 6

Gently heat your garlic Kerrygold butter.

* Step 7

Plate seafood hot with lemon wedges to the side with plenty of napkins.

* Step 8

Since you have all of your butters out at room temperature, consider serving fresh, warm crispy breads. Also, consider a honey butter. It's a great contrast to the saltiness of your seafood and other butters. I've got a great honey butter recipe under my profile if interested. ☺

* Step 9

Pull your top shells from your Dungeness Crabs and clean. Boil for two minutes.

* Step 10

A pulled and cleaned top shell from crab pictured.

* Step 11

The inside of your cleaned shell pictured that's been boiled for 2 minutes. You do have the option of leaving what we call, "The Mustard," within the shell but, I warn you - you'd better like the crazy taste of fishy if you do! 🐬

* Step 12

Create your crab salad by chopping your vegetables and adding your other chilled ingredients. See recipe above. Mix well.

* Step 13

Pack your shell with your craby chilled rich goodness! Garnish with fresh parsley, fresh ground black pepper and lemon wedges Enjoy!

* Step 14
