Crab

• 1 x 800 g (1 lb 12 oz) live spanner crab, chilled (see crustaceans*)

When ready to serve, kill the crab by inserting a knife into the head of the crab. This is the most humane way to kill a crab I know of if carried out properly. Once killed, separate the crab legs from the body. Place the crab legs and body into a steamer. Steam the legs and claws for 5 minutes, then remove. Steam the body for 15 minutes.
