SAUTEED SOFT-SHELL CRABS WITH CAPER BROWN BUTTER

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 medium soft-shell crabs, cleaned and rinsed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 lemon, juiced
1 handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • To prepare the soft-shell crabs: Put the flour in a pie dish or plate and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper. Dredge the crabs in the seasoned flour to coat, shaking off the excess. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high flame. Lay the crabs in the hot oil in a single layer without crowding; you may have to fry them in batches. Be careful, the crabs have a tendency to pop and spatter. Cook the crabs for about 3 minutes on each side, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and cover to keep warm.
  • Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the pan. Let the butter melt and cook until it just begins to brown. Add the capers and wine; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until almost dry. Add the lemon juice and parsley; season with salt and pepper. Pour the caper brown butter sauce over the crabs and serve with lemon wedges.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large or 8 small soft-shell crabs, dressed for cooking
1/4 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 slices peeled lemon
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Put the crabs in a shallow dish in one layer and add the milk, cayenne, salt and pepper. Turn the crabs in the milk.
  • Dip the crabs immediately into the flour, turning to coat them well. Shake off the excess flour.
  • Heat the oil until quite hot in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the crabs in one layer. Add the crabs, belly side down. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes (more or less, depending on the size of the crabs) until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
  • Transfer the crabs to a warm serving platter. Garnish with lemon slices.
  • Wipe out the skillet with a clean cloth and add the butter. When it is bubbling and turned hazelnut color add the lemon juice and pour the mixture over the crabs. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

CRAB ROLLS



Crab Rolls image

Don't let lobster have all the fun! Crab is just as delicious on a buttery toasted bun, especially when amped up with mayonnaise, lemon, Old Bay, and cayenne.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, plus more for serving
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, drained and picked over
6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
6 top-split buns
1 head butter lettuce (such as Boston), leaves separated, for serving
Chopped fresh chives and potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, Old Bay, and cayenne. Gently fold in crabmeat.
  • Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium, about 8 minutes. Generously brush top and sides of buns with butter. Place buns, flat-side down, in skillet and toast, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden on both sides, about 3 minutes. Line inside of buns with 1 to 2 lettuce leaves; divide crabmeat among buns. Drizzle tops with remaining melted butter; sprinkle with chives and more Old Bay. Serve, with lemon wedges and potato chips.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Start with fresh, flavorful crabmeat, and use unsalted butter to ensure you have control over the saltiness of the dish.
  • Brown the butter correctly: Keep a close eye on the butter as it browns, and remove it from the heat as soon as it turns a light golden brown. Over-browning the butter will result in a bitter taste.
  • Don't overcook the crab: Crab meat cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. The crab should be opaque and tender, but still slightly firm to the bite.
  • Use a good quality roll: The roll you use will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the sandwich. Look for a soft, slightly sweet roll that can hold up to the fillings without getting soggy.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Some popular options include lettuce, tomato, avocado, and bacon. You can also add a drizzle of tartar sauce or lemon juice for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Brown butter crab rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood sandwich that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is packed with flavor. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give brown butter crab rolls a try!
