Buttered Blue Crabs

I learned this recipe from my grandmother. She makes it perfectly spicy and finger lick'n good. Although, the preparation part is quite inhumane-crustacean (inhumane but for shell fish), especially when I have to stab the crabs to death and rip their bodies in half. As I detach their limbs, a nerve would stimulate a twitch or two. Sighs, the cruelty I go through to have some protein in my diet. Eh, whatever, the smell of butter and onion is heavenly enough to forget about the sin. 

Ingredients: 

• 3/4 stick of butter
• 8 blue crabs
• 2 Tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 white bulb onion

Directions:

1. Stab the crabs in the center, when they rest, peel the back body and discard, clean and rinse with water, half the bodies then set aside.
2. Dice the bulb onion.
3. Melt the butter in a deep fry pan. Wait for an orange color, then add the onion.
4. When the onion is translucent, add the cleaned crabs in the pan.
5. Add the rest of the ingredients.
6. Stir fry for 40 mins at a little over med heat.
7. Eat with rice.
