What are some great recipes for crabs?

Crabs are one of my favorite seafood aside from shrimps and lobsters, of course. I remembered my mother used to prepare steamed crabs with coconut milk which makes my mouth water every time I smell the aroma of the food that is cooking. It was one of my favorite dishes. I am looking for other ways to prepare crabs. Do you have some special recipes for it? Can you share them with me?

I am a great crab lover and enjoy cooking different crab recipes. Some wonderful crab recipes I like most are Crab Tater Tots, Crab Pot Stickers – these two are crab appetizers. Other recipes that I like are Dungeness Crab Cakes, Crab Salad Recipes, Crab Bisque, Crab Meat Won Tons (one of my absolute favorites) and Maryland Crab Soup. I collected these wonderful crab recipes from http://www.crab-o-licious.com/ and also many important tips from this site.
