Sauteed Soft Shell CrabThis is a basic soft shell recipe...Ingredients:
Place crab in large mixing bowl with the flour, pat them gently to rid of excess flour. Heat olive oil in dutch oven sized pan or large enough to hold the crabs in a single layer in pan. Gently place the crabs, top shell down, into the pan. Move pan back and forth (like you see chef's do on tv!) slowly and carefully, to prevent the crab from sticking to the pan. Cook the crab on medium high for about 3 minutes on each side. Keep lifting crab up to check how they are browning. Carefully transfer the crabs to a plate with paper towels and pat them gently with paper towels to eliminate excess oil. Season with salt and pepper and serve. Serves 4-6.
