Source of Recipe


newspaper


List of Ingredients




18 live soft shell crabs
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper, ground
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
2 ounces lemon juice
3 dashes of soy sauce
1 cup flour
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups plain breadcrumbs

Recipe




Clean crabs but do not remove top shell.
Rinse well in cool water.
Place the crabs on a sheet pan and season with salt, pepper, lemon, soy sauce, garlic power and onion powder, then refrigerate for at least two hours.
Place flour in one bowl, eggs in another, and bread crumbs in the last.
Roll each crab in the flour, dip in the eggs, and then coat with the bread crumbs.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Heat a skillet with about one inch of oil.
Sauté each crab on one side for 4-5 minutes, turn and continue until each crab is crispy.
Place browned crabs in oven for 8 minutes until hot all the way through and crispy.

Serving suggestions:

Serve with cocktail sauce, remoulade, a green sauce or a creamy dijon sauce. Always serve the sauce on the side.

Chef's Tip:

For a great variation, top the crab with some toasted almonds and melted butter.
