centollo

💰Cheaper: blue crab

Blue crab is more accessible and affordable while providing a similar taste.

Fill a pot with 2 liters of water.

Add 2 bay leaves and 80 grams of salt to the water and stir to dissolve the salt.

Introduce the live centollo into the cold water.

Bring the water to a boil.

Once boiling, start timing the cooking process for 10 minutes for a 500-gram centollo.

After 10 minutes, remove the centollo and place it in a bowl with ice water to stop the cooking process.

Let the centollo sit upside down in the ice water to retain its juices.

Serve the centollo at room temperature for the best flavor.
