Ingredients

Cost per serving $0.31 view details
  • 1 1/2 c. low-fat lowfat milk
  • 4 sm soft-shell crabs cleaned
  • 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
  •     Salt to taste
  •     Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 2 Tbsp. minced flat-leaf parsley
  •     Remoulade Sauce (see recipe),

Directions

  1. Place the lowfat milk in a shallow bowl large sufficient to hold the crabs in a single layer. Add in the crabs and let them soak for 1 hour. Drain and throw away the lowfat milk.
  2. Season the flour with salt and pepper in a paper or possibly plastic bag. Lightly dredge each crab in the flour.
  3. Heat the oil and butter together in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and saute/fry the crabs in batches till golden brown, about 4 min per side. Add in more oil and butter to the pan if necessary.
  4. To serve, place a crab in the center of 4 salad plates and garnish each with a sprinkle of minced parsley and a small dollop of Remoulade Sauce.
  5. This recipe yields 4 servings.
  6. Comments: Soaking the crabs in lowfat milk helps plump them up when cooked. Combining butter and oil results in crispy crabs.
