Add the crabs to the hot pan, back-side down and saute over medium heat. Turn them with a spatula to cook the other side when they are crisp and browned.

When they are completely cooked, about 3 minutes each side, remove to a warm platter. Add the capers and remaining butter to the pan and brown 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and parsley to the hot pan and pour over the crabs on the platter or on individual plates. Serve on a bed of smashed new potatoes with lots of fresh chopped parsley and olive oil.
