SOFT-SHELL CRABS WITH LIME SAUCE
Steps:
- Season the flour with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Coat the crabs with flour and shake off excess. Heat butter and oil in a large skillet. When hot, add the crabs, shell side down first and saute for about 3 to 4 minutes a side (stand back a bit from skillet as crab will pop and splatter as you saute them.)
- Remove the crabs and keep them warm. Add lime zest, juice and water to the pan. Deglaze the pan by scraping up all the browned particles with a wooden spoon and incorporating them into the lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Boil the juices down until syrupy. Set crabs on warmed dinner plates and pour pan juices over them. For fancier occasions, garnish the plate with lemon rounds and sprinkle toasted almonds over the crabs.

Steps:
- Clean crabs if necessary: remove the eyes, then turn the crab on its back and remove apron. Turn over again, lift up flaps at each end, and pull out spongy gill tissue. Pat dry and refrigerate until ready to grill.
- Place minced shallots in saucepan with lemon juice and white Port, and reduce over medium heat until about 2 tablespoons of sauce remain (5 to 7 minutes). Add heavy cream and grated ginger. Bring to a boil, and reduce by a third, to about 3 tablespoons.
- Reduce heat to very low, and whisk in butter, one piece at a time, whisking constantly. Season with salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper; strain sauce through a fine-mesh strainer. Taste for seasonings, adding a few drops of lemon juice if neccessary. Set sauce aside and keep warm.
- In a heavy-bottom saucepan, heat peanut oil to 325 degrees. Carefully drop in drained capers and deep-fry until buds open fully and are crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, and drain on absorbent paper. Set aside and keep warm.
- Preheat broiler or outdoor grill until medium-hot. Brush crabs with olive oil, and season with salt and freshly ground white pepper. Grill approximately 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until nicely crisp and deep reddish brown.
- Arrange crabs on a serving plate, drizzle sauce over them, and sprinkle with sliced scallions and deep-fried capers. Serve with summer vegetables and a dry white wine.

SHEILA'S SAUTEED SOFT-SHELL CRABS WITH LEMON BUTTER SAUCE
When my boyfriend told me soft-shell crabs was one of his favorite dishes, I knew I was in trouble. I had never made them before, so I realized I was in for a long learning process. Well, I think I have finally mastered it. As a matter of fact, when we were recently out to dinner, he ordered some soft-shell crabs and then proclaimed (with surprise) that they weren't near as good as mine! So, I will share my success with you.

SOFT SHELL CRABS WITH GARLIC GINGER SAUCE
Number Of Ingredients 17
Steps:
- Combine flour, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon Thai seasoning in a large bowl and mix well. Add crabs at one time and coat completely. Arrange crabs on an ungreased baking sheet and let stand 1 hour, reserve flour mixture. Using a toothpick, puncture holes in the back of each crab (this will keep the crabs from exploding when fried). Recoat crabs with flour mixtures. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat to 350 F. Deep fry crabs, 2 at a time, until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Set 2 crabs at side of each of 4 serving plates and keep warm. For sauce, heat olive oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Add onions, garlic, and ginger and sauté until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add stock, soy sauce, lemon juice, bell pepper, bean sauce, and Thai seasoning and cook, stirring 2 to 3 minutes. Pour ¼ of the sauce over the other side of each serving plate and garnish with mint, and serve.
