Instructions: Use a large enamel steamer with a raised bottom grate. Mix equal amounts of water and vinegar, or water and beer, and keep the liquid level below grate. Blend equal amounts of salt and Old Bay seasoning (note: if hotter seasoning is required, add crushed red pepper to taste). Sprinkle this mixture generously over each level of crabs. Steam until ALL traces of green are gone and the crabs are a uniform bright red (30-45 minutes) Serve with cold beer and tons of paper towels.
