Инструкции

  1. For the Bay Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine chili pwdr, paprika, cayenne pepper, bay leaves, oregano, salt, sugar, dry mustard, thyme, black pepper, white pepper, and coriander seed and set aside.
  2. For the Crabs: Inside a large pot, place an expandable steamer basket on the bottom. Add in the beer, vinegar, and sufficient water to come up to the bottom of the basket. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Carefully transfer the crabs with tongs to the basket, spritz with fresh lemon juice, and toss in the lemons. Sprinkle bay seasoning, to taste, over each layer of crabs (about 1/4 to 1/2 c.).
  3. Cover the pot tightly and steam till the crabs are cooked through, about 10 to 15 min. (To check doneness, remove a crab leg, break open, and taste.)
  4. Heat the butter in a small saucepan. Add in lemon juice, salt, and pepper sauce. Remove from the heat, adjust seasoning to taste, and serve as a dipping sauce for the crabs, bread, and corn.
  5. Warm Boiled Corn on the Cob: In a pot of boiling water, add in salt and corn and cook till tender, about 5 min. Remove from the heat and carefully remove the corn with tongs to a serving platter. If you like, sprinkle with additional bay seasoning.
  6. This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
