I have a question concerning steamed crabs and I guess for that matter
steamed shrimp.

If the crabs and shrimp are washed off does it matter what was
originally in the steaming solution or in the spices -- ie.  is there a
problem with gluten?  I know alot of people steam their crabs with a
combination of water, vinegar and beer.  Does the gluten penetrate the
crab shells?  If so, what do people use to steam their crabs??

Thanks.
