Soft Shell Crabs Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Dredge your crabs in a bit of flour and pat excess off and allow to rest until needed.
  • Put butter and olive oil in a pan and heat on medium to medium-low.
  • When butter melts, add your thinly sliced garlic and saute lightly until the garlic gets a bit golden in color. Remove garlic with a slotted spoon and reserve on the side.
  • Add your soft-shells to the pan with the butter/oil mixture and saute on medium until the crabs are red all over. Make sure to flip them on to both sides to allow to evenly cook – about 4 or 5 minutes each side.
  • Remove crabs from oil and place on plate. Add the garlic back to the pan, add a pinch of salt and then drizzle the crabs with the garlic/butter and oil. Sprinkle with some peperoncino.
  • Serve with some pasta olio e aglio (spaghetti with garlic and olive oil)

    I love soft shells too. We lived in Kitty Hawk, NC for awhile and it was so easy to get fresh ones right out of the shedders. Here in western Maryland, not so easy! I agree with Jeff, these would be great on a big soft roll, some lettuce, tomato, and mayo.... legs hanging out and everything! High 5 to you....
