Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need:

4 soft-shell crabs, cleaned
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
2 large eggs
1 cup cornmeal
Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

Now that we’ve got our ingredients ready, let’s get it poppin’!

First off, rinse the soft-shell crabs under cold water to make sure they’re nice and clean. Pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. This is where the flavor begins, y’all!
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they’re nice and mixed, and in another dish, put the cornmeal to the side.
Now, take each crab and coat it first in the seasoned flour, then dip it in the egg wash, and last but not least, coat it in the cornmeal. That’s gonna give it that crunch we crave!
Heat about an inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, carefully place the crabs in the oil. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
Remove the crabs and let them drain on paper towels to soak up any excess oil. You want them crispy, not greasy!
Serve these beauties hot with your favorite dipping sauce or just the way they are. Dig in!

And there you have it! A delightful Crunchy Soft-Shell Crab dish that’s sure to impress. Get your folks together, and enjoy this feast! Happy cooking!
