Instructions
Place live blue crabs into a steam pot, seasoning generously with Hooper’s Crab Seasoning—making sure to add more seasoning for every layer of crabs. Make sure that crabs are positioned with bellies down to avoid them throwing their legs off when the steaming starts.

For steam, add water, apple cider vinegar, and National Bohemian beer (or any beer of your choice) at a 4:2:1 ratio. The vinegar and beer is the secret to flavoring the meat! Turn on the flame to steam the crabs until they turn bright red in color. Be careful not to over cook, as the meat will turn mushy.

Serve with butter, vinegar and more spice. Best served with fresh steamed corn on the cob.
