Crab has two large claws on either side which comprises of 4 walking legs respectively.

• The two large claws found on both side of a crab of which one is bigger than the other is called Pincers

The stalked eyes creature called Crabs are found on seashores, they belong to Order of Decapoda, Phylum: Arthropoda and as well as Crustacea as Subphylum.
They has a very short tail that's hidden under the thorax, they not only live in world oceans but also in fresh waters and as well, on land.

My crab pepper soup recipe

I promised you earlier that you will find out how this post is from my own experience and this is the right time.

Was having tough times indoor, dæm broke and bored. Going through my phone trying to kill boredom as I've been doing proved abortive that day so I decided to leave everything aside and meditate a while.
Not long ago when a heard something scrubbing my door step but never gave it attention yet since I was already deep in my meditation.

When the noise persisted, I decided to check what's it and upon turning around, lo nd behold! A crab crawling towards me, a very gigantic crab for that matter.
You may wonder how, well, it's very obvious here, it happens since we live in a swampy area precisely saltwater swamp.
For the fact that I left my door opened is because while I was battling with boredom, I was doing same with heat also, since it's been long it rained and I think that's one of the reason that made the gentle crab to take a walk .

I looked at it and wondered oh innocent crab, of all people why me? Well, in order not to interrupt my serious mediation, I grabbed a bucket and let it him, kept it outside and went back to continue my meditation.

That very day (this was on Sunday) elapsed without checking it (the crab) because I later got engaged. The following day being Monday around 4pm, I optioned the idea of making my first crab pepper soup otherwise I was planning to give it to a neighbour who loves crab.

My steps in preparing crab pepper soup

My preparation of crab pepper soup involved just 3 steps below:

• Step 1:
  Washing with warm water and salt:

I haven't cooked crab before, this was my first time and weirdo, I never bothered enquiring from people how it's been done, I never even know there's anything like crab pepper soup but I decided I have to prepare it. I never even bothered to google if there's something called crab pepper soup, I did all these after I finished eating 😅.

In as much as I hadn't cooked it, I know that it'll be nice if I start my washing it with a hot water and salt. I did that

• Step 2:
  Cooking:

After washing, I put in a pot with little water and started boiling it.
I added these ingredients below:

Ingredients	Quantity
Onions	1 mini size
Pepper	5 fresh pepper
Salt	minimal
Seasoning	One cube
Onga	minimal
Palm oil	Minimal

I added the ingredients immediately I started cooking it since it's a Shelly creature with the hope, let the ingredients sinks inside as possible.

• Step 3:
  Served

I spent roughly 15 minutes preparing this, ain't got time to waste. And as you can see, I served myself and it was yummy.

Conclusion

Cooking the crab though for the first time not only did i enjoyed it but it prompted me to search for its health benefits, now I've advanced in knowledge in that aspect.
