Cioppino Style Crab Stew

http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Cioppino-Style-Roasted-Crab-356769

This was sort of like a stew. It was good, and DH liked the crab. It is very mild and didn't have a smell. The spices were a big plus.

I purchased only one Dungeness Crab instead of two as the recipe calls for. They were on sale for $6/lb. David is sort of hesitant about eating crab, so I cracked everything ahead of time just in case it would turn him off to it. It was hard work! I need to buy a nutcracker.

I bought the crab (pre-cooked) at JJ&F. They cleaned it for me (removing lungs, mouth, top shell, etc). I watched a video on youtube that was really helpful about how to deal with crabs since it was my first time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHAgZ4i33Is
