Sauteed Soft-Shell Crab Sandwich

By: Rebecca Bent
10 minute prep

Directions

  1. In a shallow medium bowl, whisk together the oil or butter, garlic, salt, and parsley and optional black pepper or seafood seasoning.
  2. Place the cleaned and thawed soft-shell crabs in the bowl and cover it with the mixture. 
  3. Slick a medium skillet with a few drops of the oil/butter mixture and place it over medium heat.
  4. When the skillet is hot, add in the soft crabs and the oil/butter mixture. Sauté the crabs for about 4 minutes per side or until the crabs have reddened and are slightly crispy. 
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the sandwich. Place the bottom half of the roll on a plate and cover it with the lettuce and tomato.
  6. Remove the crab from the skillet and place it on the sandwich and smother it with tartar sauce. If you wanted, you could brush the top roll with the butter mixture from the skillet before placing it on top. Enjoy! 
  7. This recipe takes 10 minutes of prep and 10 minutes of cooking.
