I arrived at a place full of fresh river seafood, and of course, I wanted to make some crabs or something. Actually, I have never made crabs and I am very afraid of them. But after figuring out the formula for this spicy swimming crab, it was simply addictive!! It tastes even better than what’s sold outside~and making it yourself will be cleaner, won’t it
