1 dozen live blue crabs
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup beer
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 clove minced garlic
1 bay leaf
3/4 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning or crab boil

Combine liquid ingredients with seasonings. In a large stockpot with a lid, place half of the crabs on the bottom; pour on half of the vinegar mixture. Add remaining crabs and liquid.

Cover and steam until crabs become bright red, about 20-25 minutes.

Serves 4.
