Spent the weekend at Holly Beach and laid the smack down on the crabs. Probably caught 30 dozen between us and a couple other families that were were with.
Steamed 5 dozen last night for to finish the weekend:
- in the basket put a layer of crabs, layer of seasoning, layer of crabs, layer of seasoning (I use it sparingly)
- in the 80qt pot I put 12oz beer, 12oz vinegar, 24oz water, juice from 8 lemons, 1/4 or 1/2 small bottle of liquid boil, and the crushed beer can centered on the bottom (or anything to prop the basket up out of the water, yet not so much you can't close the lid)
--- Steam for 20 minutes then pull them out to cool ----
This is how Eric at TheCajunRivierra.com does it and it's perfect. If your looking for a low cost option down in Holly Beach/Cameron he has campers for rent and is a great dude that will give you the shirt off his back. I grew up down the road from him.
