"Crabs" (كابوريا)

Yummy Yummy Crabs!!!
One of my favourite dishes. You cannot get enough of eating crabs!




Ingredients:

1 dozen of crabs. (they must be alive!!)
3 squeezed lemons.
2 sliced onions.
Salt, pepper, & cumin for seasoning.


Directions:
  1. In an extra large pot add the sliced onions and the 3 squeezed lemons.
  2. Then add the crabs, while they're alive!
  3. Season them with salt, pepper and about 1 tbsp cumin (sprinkle some red pepper powder if you like it spicy).
  4. Cover the pot and shake it while closed really hard so all crabs would be seasoned.
  5. Then uncover and add about 1/3 cup of water or less, we just need the water so that the crabs won't get burned while cooking.
  6. Cook over low to medium heat (more to medium).
  7. Every while you have to shake the pot, so that all crabs would be fully cooked equally.
  8. Crabs would take about 25 minutes until fully cooked.
Tips:
  • Never cook already dead crabs nor lobsters, because they get poisoning after they die. People say that they are safe to be cooked if only dead for a few hours, but I don't like taking risks!
  • You can add more than 3 lemons if you desire.
  • Don't overcook crabs or else their meat will stick to their shells and they'll be very hard to eat.
  • You'll need some tools like special forks and crackers to eat your crabs easily, and here are their pictures:


Bon Appetit dear readers!
