Sauteed Soft Shelled Crab

Actutally I wanted to write this post a lot sooner but didn’t I am caught up in my feelings still over losing my father and I had to pry myself out of my bedroom and back on my computer to generate some content for my blog. I am not deliberately trying to leave you in the lurch.

Mr. Riaz took me to Resturant Depot to buy a case of soft shelled crabs. What are they, I know you are asking? They are Maryland blue crabs in the stage of molting. So their shells are good and soft and did not have a chance to harden yet. By the way, the whole thing is edible, shell and all. Also I wanted this for my birthday meal and this is what I got.

If they are not cleaned then you have to remove the gills, mouth and adbominal plate. I took another look and mine were clean. I washed them and put them in a small dish. You will need 2 or more soft shelled crabs. Place it in to a bowl and add 1 capful of lemon juice. Place it in the refridgerator for a couple of hours.

Here you can season them to your liking by adding 1 pinch of peppercorns crushed in a mortar and pestle. Add 3 shakes of lemon pepper with either 3 shakes of either seasoned salt or Goya seasonador or you can add one of these Creole/ Cajun Seasoning, Homemade Old Bay Seasoning Done My Way or Blackened Seasoning. The choice is yours.

After you apply the seasoning of choice then add 3 cloves of garlic crushed. Next in either a cast iron skillet or a wok perfered, add 3 tbs of olive oil and 1 pat of butter and saute until the crabs are done. You can tell when they are done that they turn red. Enjoy this in a sandwich using 1 tsp of mayonnaise inside pocket pita or making a wrap by using chapati. Enjoy with sparkling water which is very refressing after eating this lovely dish.
