For tonights LSU party I am doing a crab and shrimp boil. I have a lot of experience with crawfish, but I have never boiled blue crab. Any helpful hints on cleaning, seasonoing, and cooking methods? Thanks

don't boil them longer than 5 minutes, let them soak at least 20.

honestly for the crabs once it gets back to a rolling boil you can shut it down and let them soak

Longer soak the better. No need to boil for more than 5 minutes.
