🧂 Ingredients

1 In a tall steamer pot, combine the water, vinegar and Old Bay seasoning and
bring to a boil.
2 Place the steamer basket in the pot, making sure it doesn't touch the liquid
below.
3 Carefully add the crabs to the steamer basket, layering with more Old Bay
seasoning as you go.
4 Cover the pot and steam the crabs for about 30 minutes or until crabs are bright
red.
5 When the crabs are almost done, heat some butter in a pan until melted and skim
the foam off the top. Pour the butter into bowls for dipping.
6 Remove the crabs from the steamer pot and spread them out on newspaper. Now, get
cracking!
