Cómo preparar Beer Steamed Crabs
- In a 6-quart pot, combine 4 cups of water, 12 ounces of your favorite beer (lager or pilsner recommended), 1-2 teaspoons of crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference), 4 bay leaves, and 2 tablespoons of Old Bay seasoning. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
- Carefully add 2-3 pounds of live, uncleaned crabs to the boiling liquid. (Adjust the crab quantity based on your serving size).
- Once the liquid returns to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the crabs are bright red and the meat is easily pulled from the legs.
- Remove the crabs from the pot using tongs and serve immediately. Enjoy with extra beer and plenty of melted butter for dipping!
