Easy Soft-Shell Crabs

Ingredients:

• 4 Crabs

• 1 cup Flour, seasoned with Old Bay Seasoning

• Oil for sautéing

• Lemon Wedges

• Tartar Sauce

Instructions:

Dip crabs in seasoned flour and shake off excess.  Heat oil in a cast iron or other heavy pan.  When hot, slide crabs in a single layer.  Stand back a little, as they will start to spatter.  Allow to cook on one side until crispy, then carefully flip them over and cook until crispy on the other side, about 7-10 minutes total.  Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.  Also great on a sandwich! 

Serves 2.

Can do with or without seasoning, with butter instead of oil – almost anything goes!
