Steamed Blue Crabs

1. 1

   Combine 1/2 cup seafood seasoning, salt, beer, and vinegar in a large stockpot over high heat. Bring to a strong simmer.

2. 2

   Right before cooking, carefully place each crab upside down and stick a knife through the shell, just behind mouth.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.
