Steps:
- Whisk flour, salt, and pepper; place on a dinner plate. Dredge 2 soft-shell crabs in flour mixture, shaking off excess (make sure crabs are completely coated).
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be very hot but not smoking. Place flour-coated crabs, back side down, in sauté pan; reduce heat to medium if pan starts to smoke. Sauté crabs until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes (do not stand too close to pan; crabs tend to spatter during cooking). Turn crabs over, and cook 2 minutes more.
- Add 1 tablespoon butter and a large pinch of parsley to skillet. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over crabs. Keep warm in a low oven. Repeat process until all the crabs are cooked.

- Prep crab if needed by snipping off the eyes, straight across, in the eyebrow area with kitchen shears. Then pull off the apron, which has the shape of an ice scraper you might use on your car windows in winter. Then pry up the sides and remove the gills. If you don't know what these look like, just google a pic. I would have taken pics for you but mine already came prepared.
- Stir all the ingredients for the batter together then dip the whole crab into the batter, then lift and gently shake off excess.
- Fry in hot oil several minutes on each side, until they are golden. Then drain on paper toweling or a clean paper bag.
- Serve with cocktail sauce, remoulade sauce, by themselves or on a sandwich (as a Po' Boy, with lettuce, tomato and mayo or remoulade).

- Combine the flour with the salt and pepper and favorite seasoning in a bowl or storage container.
- One at time, coat the crab in the egg, dredge the crabs in the seasoned flour, shake off excess flour and start frying. You want to try and time it so the crabs right from the flour into the frying pan. If you let them sit around, the flour will clump.
- Heat a frying pan, large enough to hold all 4 crabs, over medium heat until hot. If you don't have a large enough pan, cook in batches.

- In a 2 c mixing cup, stir together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, turmeric, salt and cayenne.
- In a larger bowl, whisk together the egg, vinegar and 1/2 a bottle of the beer. Using a spatula, fold the flour into the beer mixture. It should have the consistency of thin pancake batter and may be a bit lumpy, so do not over mix. Add more beer if needed to achieve the desired consistency. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Make your nuoc cham sauce and get your salad plate ready. I made an additional sauce of black pepper, lots of garlic and butter. That’s pretty good, also!
