The crabs were a little overcooked, but still tasty.

I followed the recipe exactly and the crabs turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. My husband and I loved them.

I've never had soft shell crabs before, but I'm glad I tried them. They were so delicious and easy to make. I'll definitely be making them again.

These crabs were amazing! The soft shell made them so easy to eat, and the broiling gave them a nice crispy flavor. I served them with melted butter and lemon wedges, and they were a hit with my family.
