Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons minced shallots
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 ounces white port
3 ounces heavy cream
1 2-inch slice fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
4 ounces unsalted butter, chopped in pieces
Coarse salt and cayenne pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil
Freshly ground white pepper to taste

  • Reduce heat to very low and whisk in the butter, a small piece at a time. Season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer and add a few more drops of lime juice if necessary. Keep warm (be careful not to overheat or the sauce may curdle).

  • Brush the crabs with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill three to four minutes on each side, until crisp and a deep reddish brown.
  • Arrange the crabs on a serving platter, drizzle sauce over them and sprinkle with scallions and coriander.

BROILED OR GRILLED SOFTSHELL CRABS



Broiled or Grilled Softshell Crabs image

Though you can just shove the crabs under the broiler in this recipe, this slightly more complicated procedure works best: Preheat a large roasting pan in the broiler for ten minutes or so. When you're ready to cook, put the crabs in the pan, adjusting the broiler rack so that it's two or three inches from the heat source or as close as you can get it (in my oven, this means propping the roasting pan on top of another pan). The crabs will be done in less than 5 minutes. Remember that some oven broilers work best if the door is ajar, which will keep the element from cycling off and make cooking time faster, not slower.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 softshell crabs
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (optional)
Salt
2 lemons, quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler, adjusting the rack so that it is just beneath the heat source; put a large nonstick roasting pan or skillet in there to heat up for about 10 minutes. Or start a grill, adjusting the rack so that it is about 4 inches from the coals.
  • To broil, place the crabs, top shell up, in the pan. Broil until they are firm and their tops lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Brush lightly with olive oil if you like, sprinkle with salt, and serve with lemon wedges.
  • To grill, brush the crabs with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill, turning once or twice, until browned and firm, 5 to 10 minutes. Brush with olive oil and serve with lemon or, if you like, melted butter.
