Red Lobster's Steamed Blue Crab

Red Lobster's Steamed Blue Crab

Ingredients
1 dozen large male blue crabs (cleaner and more meaty than the female)
1 can your favorite beer
1/4 cup sliced onion
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup white vinegar
8 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
Cocktail Sauce

Cooking Directions
Use a large stock pot with a steamer tray (if no steamer tray you can
elevate a large plate or platter on top of several cups or juice
glasses).
Just be sure the plate, which will hold the crabs, is above the
liquid.
Place beer, onion, garlic, bay leaves, vinegar and 2 tablespoons Old
Bay Seasoning in the stock pot. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
Place crabs, belly-side down, in the steamer tray (or on the plate).
Sprinkle with remaining Old Bay Seasoning. Cover and steam on high heat 15
minutes. Remove from pot and serve with extra Old Bay Seasoning and
Cocktail Sauce.

 

Even More Recipes

For more secret restaurant recipes, America's Secret Recipes is the best. It's an ebook, not a physical, printed book. This is the recipe ebook that has been on TV lately. When you order, you get free bonus recipe ebooks and access to an online database of thousands of restaurant recipes. It's a great deal! After you buy it you could print it out and put the recipes you want into a presentation folder with plastic pages so you can use it in the kitchen without ruining the paper. It's also good to write down your thoughts on the recipe and make notes on variations you try.

The second best in my opinion is the Copy Cat Cookbook. You get two volumes, with 750 restaurant recipes.

It's cover isn't as slick as America's Secret Recipes but the recipes are just as good. It also comes with 3 free extra recipe books. Regards,
