Ingredients
- 1 doz large male blue crabs see * Note
- 1 can your favorite beer
- 1/4 c. sliced onion
- 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
- 2 x bay leaves
- 1/2 c. white vinegar
- 8 Tbsp. Old Bay Seasoning
- Â Â Cocktail Sauce
Directions
- * Note: We suggest using male blue crab. Although they are more costly, they are cleaner and more meaty than the female.
- Use a large stock pot with a steamer tray (if no steamer tray you can elevate a large plate or possibly platter on top of several c. or possibly juice glasses). Just be sure the plate, that will hold the crabs, is above the liquid.
- Place beer, onion, garlic, bay leaves, vinegar and 2 Tbsp. Old Bay Seasoning in the stock pot. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Place crabs, belly-side down, in the steamer tray (or possibly on the plate). Sprinkle with remaining Old Bay Seasoning. Cover and steam on high heat 15 min. Remove from pot and serve with extra Old Bay Seasoning and Cocktail Sauce.
- Suggested Wine: Beverage suggestions: Light lager beer, Chenin Blanc
- NOTES : Chef's Tip - You are going to love this preparation. Do not be afraid to serve the next day, iced.
