Steamed Marinated Crab Legs
 Steaming your crab legs with seasoned beer brings some of the beer flavor to your crab, as opposed to using only water. Water works fine for steaming, of course, but beer makes this more unique and flavorful. Try this with different beers. The taste will be different between dark and light beers.
