The steamed crabs remain red, either because the crabs are not fresh or because our crabs are not steamed. If the former, the crab can't be eaten, so as not to cause our stomach discomfort. If the latter, you can put the crab into the pot and steam it for a while. Why isn't the steamed crab red? If the steamed crab doesn't turn red, it may be because the crab is not very fresh. It's best not to eat this kind of crab again, so as not to cause gastrointestinal discomfort after eating.
If the crab is very fresh but still doesn't turn red after steaming, it may be that we don't steam the crab enough time, so we just need to put the crab into the pot and steam it for a while.
When steaming crabs, we should put the crabs on the steamer with their abdomen upward, so that the crab yolk in the crabs is not easy to leak out. In addition, we can add a small amount of ginger, cooking wine and garlic to the water for steaming crabs, which can remove the fishy smell of crabs.
