Ingredients

Crabs

Beer or Vinegar

Crab boil seasoning

Directions

  1. Get a black steamer. Put crabs in water. Add seasoning. Put more crabs on top. Let them steam for 40 minutes. When you put them in they are blue-green, but wait until their shells are orange-red and their bellies turn white. Then you can take them out, they're ready to eat.

I have to agree about the recipe being wrong. Steam the crabs for 12-14 minutes max. Be sure to add Old Bay seasoning to the water. Once steamed, let the crabs cool for about 15 minutes and begin the picking process. We freeze any crab meat we will not be using for our recipe.
