MARYLAND CRAB FEAST RECIPE



Maryland Crab Feast Recipe image

Maryland blue crabs are easy to cook, and easy to eat (once you learn how). These basic instructions will help you get your crabs on the table. Just make sure to start with live blue crabs, still frisky enough to try to bite you-anything less vigorous should be avoided.

Categories     Quick and Easy

Time 30m

Yield Depends on the number of crabs

Number Of Ingredients 5

One or two (12-ounce) cans beer, such as a light American lager
Distilled white or cider vinegar, as needed, plus more for serving
Live Maryland blue crabs, as many as you want
Old Bay or other similar seasoning mixture, as needed
Drawn or melted butter, for serving

Steps:

  • Add enough beer to the largest pot you own to reach a depth of roughly 1 inch. Pour in a generous splash of vinegar. The exact quantity isn't important; just give it a good little glug. (Note: You can also just use water to steam the crabs, if you want. The flavor difference will be subtle.)
  • Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Cover pot and cook for 15 minutes. Check the crabs: They should be bright red and piping-hot when done. If they're not, cook for an additional 5 to 15 minutes, until crabs are bright red and no traces of blue remain.
  • Remove crabs and repeat with any remaining crabs. Serve with distilled vinegar and drawn butter on newspaper-covered tables. Sides like corn on the cob , cornbread , and coleslaw are commonly served alongside.

CRAB APPETIZER (MARYLAND)



Crab Appetizer (Maryland) image

Crabs are such a part of Maryland life and Maryland way....that a lot of fellow Zaar members from the Maryland, Delaware, and Virgina coast will have a "bucket load" of crab recipes. And all of them are divine! You can fix a different crab dish or appetizer every night of the week for a full year. Crabs are not grown on the farm. But we do have a special supplier to us called, "Gibby's Seafood Market" that sell their steamed crabs from the night before at a reduced rate. Now you have to get there soon in the morning right after they open but those crabs are seasoned with "Old Bay Seasoning" (a staple of Maryland, made in Maryland) and oh so good. Anyway, whenever there is a get together be it Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall there is always a crab dish. This ia a good appetizer to serve, people just grab with their hands and devour, making sure they have licked the last bit off their hands or even plates. Go ahead, try it, I promise there won't be much left for you. Have fun add or subtract whatever you see fit.
