Ingredients

6	x	soft shell crab
1	x	flour, all-purpose	as needed
1	x	olive oil	as needed
1	x	salt	to taste
1	x	chili pepper	to taste
1/4	cup	parsley leaves	chopped
3	cloves	garlic	finely minced
2	x	lemon zest

Directions

The crabs should be alive and must be cleaned first.

That means taking kitchen shears and cutting away the eyes and mouth.

Then you must pull back and remove the top shell to expose the gills so they can be removed.

Finally, you must pull away and remove the bottom tail flap, known as the apron. These steps are done to remove the parts that are inedible or are bitter and will impart unwanted flavors.

Make the gremolata by combining the parsley, garlic and lemon zest.

Dredge the crabs in flour and sauté in olive oil over medium heat for three minutes on each side.

Shake the pan to prevent sticking and be careful not to burn the flour.

Remove and drain on paper towels, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and top with the gremolata to serve.

Sweet Hot Mustard

This is a great recipe for those that like HOT foods. Try using honey in place of the sugar. It makes a smoother texture and a slightly different taste, a taste that we decided we liked better after trying it both ways. We serve it with pepperoni, crackers and a white cheese.
