These steamed blue crabs were amazing! The meat was so tender and flavorful, and the Old Bay seasoning was the perfect touch. I highly recommend this recipe.

The recipe was easy to follow and the crabs were cooked perfectly. However, I found the Old Bay seasoning to be a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less seasoning.

The crabs were a bit overcooked, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try steaming them for a shorter amount of time next time.
