As annoying as it might sound, google crab boil. The Food network should have a decent recipe or two, or at least some guidelines. Just like with soup or a chili, cook the the stuff that takes the longest first, it potatoes, corn, and the crab. Then go in order with the rest of the stuff in order of cooking time. Old Bay is okay, but do not be afraid to try your mix of spices.

We've done shrimp boils before. Agree with the Old Bay. Agree with the above, potatoes, corn and then crab, longest to shortest cooking time.
