Directions
Dredge cleaned crabs in flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
Mix together in a shallow dish the bread crumbs, cheese and cornmeal.
Dip crabs into beaten eggs and coat with bread-crumb mixture.
Pan-fry without overcrowding in a hot pan with oil-butter mix for approximately 4 to 5 minutes per side or until golden-brown.
Serve with Red Chile Beurre Blanc (combine sauce ingredients), garnished with parsley.
