Craving something a little different for dinner? These brick-weighted sauteed soft shell crabs are crispy, buttery, and definitely a conversation starter among friends.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  30-60 minutes

ingredients

8 medium soft shell crabs
salt and pepper to taste
1 dash Old Bay Seasoning (optional)
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup butter

directions

Place crabs in bowl and cover with buttermilk. Soak for up to one hour, remove and pat dry.

Season flour with salt, pepper and seasoning and place on plate or in plastic bag. Lightly coat crabs with flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Melt butter over medium high heat in a pan or skillet large enough to hold the crabs in a single layer. Add crabs and immediately place a heavy weight such as a foil wrapped brick or heavy pan over them.

Cook for 3 minutes, remove weight and flip crabs. Cover with weight again and cook for 3 more minutes until crisp.

Serve immediately.
