Red Lobster's Steamed Blue Crab

Recipe Ingredients

1		Large male blue crabs - see * Note
1		Your favorite beer
1/4 cup	15g / 0.5oz	Sliced onion
1 tablespoon	15ml	Chopped garlic
2		Bay leaves
1/2 cup	118ml	White vinegar
8 tablespoons	120ml	Old Bay Seasoning
		Cocktail Sauce

Recipe Instructions

* 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 platter on top of several cups or juice glasses). Just be sure the plate, which will hold the crabs, is above the liquid.

Place beer, onion, garlic, bay leaves, vinegar and 2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning in the stock pot. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Place crabs, belly-side down, in the steamer tray (or on the plate). Sprinkle with remaining Old Bay Seasoning. Cover and steam on high heat 15 minutes. Remove from pot and serve with extra Old Bay Seasoning and Cocktail Sauce.
