Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

36 live blue crabs
½ cup seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
½ cup salt
3 cups beer
3 cups distilled white vinegar
¼ cup seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

Steps:

  • Combine 1/2 cup seafood seasoning, salt, beer, and vinegar in a large stockpot over high heat. Bring to a strong simmer.
  • Right before cooking, carefully place each crab upside down and stick a knife through the shell, just behind mouth.
  • Fit a screen over the beer mixture and layer the crabs on the screen. Be sure that the crabs are above the simmering liquid. Cover.
  • Steam crabs until they turn bright orange and all of the blue/green color is gone, 20 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup seafood seasoning before serving.
