Number Of Ingredients 3

6 soft-shell crabs
1/4 cup olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse crabs under cold running water; brush them with a small brush if necessary to remove any dirt from their shells. Twist off and discard apron. Fold back the pointed sides of the top shell to expose gills; remove gills on both sides. Using kitchen scissors, cut across the front of the crab about 1/4-inch behind the eyes and mouth; squeeze out the small sac located directly behind the mouth.
  • Preheat a grill with the lid down or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Brush crabs with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place crabs on grill and cover. Cook, turning crabs every couple minutes and basting them with remaining olive oil, until they turn orange and are cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from grill and serve immediately.

Fried or broiled soft-shell crabs are delicious, but you can grill them too and they are just as tasty with a smoky flavor. This recipe shows how easy it is.

Provided by Molly Watson

Categories     Appetizer     Dinner     Entree     Lunch     Snack

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 2

18 soft-shell blue crabs (cleaned)
8 tablespoons butter (melted, or neutral cooking oil)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Rinse the crabs in running cool water and reserve. Heat a grill to medium-hot-you should be able to hold your hand about an inch over the cooking grate for 3 to 4 seconds before pulling it away from the heat.
  • Pat the crabs dry with paper towels. Liberally brush the crabs all over with melted butter or oil and set them on the hot grill.
  • Cover the grill and cook until the crabs are lightly browned on the cooking grate side, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Flip the crabs over, brush with more butter, and cook until they are browned on the second side and cooked through, or about 10 minutes in total. Use tongs to remove the crabs from the grill.
  • Enjoy.
