Add corn and boil for 15 minutes more while stirring occasionally.
Remove crabs. Set aside. Let the corn boil until it’s soft and cooked.
Once the corn is cooked, remove it and set aside.
In another pan, drizzle an ample amount of cooking oil for sautéing. Add butter/margarine.
Stir the butter until it melts completely
Add garlic and stir. Once the garlic is golden brown, add in the onion. Stir.
