Sauteed Soft-Shell Crab

Recipe Ingredients

1 1/2 cups	355ml	Low-fat milk
4 cups	948ml	Soft-shell crabs - cleaned (small)
3/4 cup	46g / 1.6oz	All-purpose flour
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
2 tablespoons	30ml	Olive oil
2 tablespoons	30ml	Unsalted butter
2 tablespoons	30ml	Chopped flat-leaf parsley
		Remoulade Sauce - (see recipe),

Recipe Instructions

Place the milk in a shallow bowl large enough to hold the crabs in a single layer. Add the crabs and let them soak for 1 hour. Drain and discard the milk.

Season the flour with salt and pepper in a paper or plastic bag. Lightly dredge each crab in the flour.

Heat the oil and butter together in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and saute the crabs in batches until golden, about 4 minutes per side. Add more oil and butter to the pan if necessary.

To serve, place a crab in the center of 4 salad plates and garnish each with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and a small dollop of Remoulade Sauce.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
