Robert A. Dufresne Poet Epulaeryu

Boil 'Till Red

Salt a mess of fresh blue crabs
Steamed in a beer broth,
with onions and Old Bay spice. 
Mix vinegar with
Worcestershire sauce.
Pick, dip, eat.
Treat!


note: Have plenty of cold beer and paper towels on hand!

Inspired by Sara's Low country Boil contest
