Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

16 medium soft-shell crabs
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Flour for dredging
Salt and pepper to taste
8 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • To clean the crabs: With a small knife cut off the apron at the rear of the body. Turn the crab and cut off the face at the point just behind the eyes. Lift each point of the crab at the sides and with your fingers clean out the feathery gills. Wash under cold water.
  • Toast almonds until golden.
  • Season flour with salt and pepper and dredge crabs lightly in flour. heat butter and oil in 1 or 2 skillets large enough to hold the crabs in a single layer and saute about 3 minutes on each side, until golden. Top with almonds and serve with lemon wedges.

These crabs were a little too expensive for my taste, but they were still good. I think I will try to find a cheaper recipe next time.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the crabs didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I will try frying them for a little longer next time.

The crabs were a little too oily for my taste, but they were still good. I think I will try using less butter next time.
