So I got home too late from work to make the stew I planned, but our local Safeway had fresh Dungeness crab on sale for $4.97/lb (!) today, so I bought 2 huge crabs and used one to make this recipe tonight. It was as good or better than any I’ve had on a restaurant. My husband is a real baby about shelling crab, though! I must be getting more organized, too, as I was able to simultaneously prepare this and Hangzhou eggplant!

Whaaat? That's an incredible price! Wow. It's pretty awesome how our homemade food bests what restaurants prepare, time after time.

We can sorta train our husbands on shelling crab... More for us if they can't do it, right?

Dave -- this makes me so happy! Getting kids to eat shell-in crab can be hard. Hooray and thanks for cooking for your family. I'm thrilled to be a part of your table in a small way.

Oh, you are most definitely part of our table! They love seafood of all kinds and handle umami better than most kids. They LOVE squid, so when you post a squid recipe we will be all over that.

Many of the people I'm recruiting are "influencers" at the Pitmaster Club on AmazingRibs.com, an extremely large private forum devoted to food, grilling, bbq, and all things pertaining. I am hoping that as they prepare your dishes and post them it will drive people to PTFS!
