Old Bay Steamed Dungeness Crabs

4.5 from 69 cooks

Whole Dungeness crabs steamed over a beer and vinegar bath until bright orange, stacked high and served with melted butter and lemon.

Dungeness crabs are big and meaty enough that two people can share one, and steaming keeps the sweet meat from getting waterlogged. A mix of beer and cider vinegar in the pot perfumes the shells while the Old Bay gives a familiar coastal kick. Cover the table with paper and put out crackers, picks and plenty of napkins.
