Beer-Steamed Blue Crabs Recipe

Beer-Steamed Blue Crabs Recipe

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 3 stalks lemongrass
  • 2-3 12oz. cans of beer
  • 1/2 cup kalamansi juice
  • 1 dozen live blue crabs, rinsed
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Spread the cilantro across the bottom of a pot or dutch oven large enough to hold all of the crabs. Cut the lemongrass stalks in half, then pound the bottom white portion of each stalk with a mallet, or the back of a knife. Place the lemongrass in the bottom of the pot in a criss-cross pattern.
  2. Pour the beer and kalamansi juice into the pot. Place the pot over high heat, and bring the liquid to a boil. Once the liquid boils, add the live crabs to the pot and cover with lid. Steam until the shells of the crabs turn bright red-orange, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Remove the crabs from the pot using tongs. Serve immediately.
