Copycat Boiling Crab Sauce ingredients
  • Butter: This is a proper butter sauce, so use real butter, not margarine or a butter substitute.
  • Lemon juice: Pick a large fresh lemon to juice, not the green bottled kind.
  • Garlic: Don’t use already minced garlic. Get fresh garlic cloves and mince them yourself.
  • Old Bay Seasoning: There are copycat brands out there, but it’s best to be brand-specific on this one.
  • Hot sauce: Use your favorite brand like Texas Pete, Franks, or Louisiana hot sauce.
