Garlic Beer-Battered Soft-Shell Special
Tonight’s menu presents cleaned & dressed Soft-Shell Crabs in a Beer-Battered Sauté Recipe.???????? A Chef Jeff Exclusive Video
It takes a true crab lover to dine on the entire crab as an entrée or sandwich! Diners rave over the beer battered salty-sweet taste of the soft-shells in the Garlic Beer-Battered Soft-Shell Special. Follow these easy steps to prepare your own dish. 1) Whisk two organic eggs with whole milk and set aside. Prepare the garlic-vegetable mix: Dice four plum tomatoes & a sweet onion. Chop three garlic cloves and parsley. Combine all seasonings/vegetables together and set aside. 2) Dip soft-shells in the egg/milk mixture and then coat with Soft Crab Batter from J.O., a Baltimore MD brand. Repeat the dipping and coating for a thicker breading. 3) Carefully place the crabs in a hot skillet with extra virgin olive oil. Add the seasonings/vegetable mix. Sauté for 3 minutes per side creating a golden-brown crust. Carefully sauté vegetable/seasoning mix and set on top of the crabs. This combined cooking adds flavor to the soft-shells. 4) Pour your favorite beer on each crab to give the crabs a hoppy flavor that complements the succulent-salty taste. Cook for another 3 minutes per side. 5) Plate and savor this unique dish for the true crab lover!

Ingredients:
2 - Medium Soft-Shell Crabs (Purchased from Capeside Fish Company in Rainbow City, Alabama)
6oz - Zatarain's Fish Fri (I use the Seasoned with Lemon UPC: 0 71429 02437 3)
4 teaspoons - Dash Salt-Free Italian Medley (UPC: 6 05021 00049 9)
1 - 12oz Mike or 12oz Can of evaporated milk
2 - Large eggs (I use Country Daybreak UPC: 0 77236 33336 3)
4 teaspoons - Real Grated Parmesan & Romano Cheese (I Use Laura Lynn UPC: 0 86854 00157 8)
1 teaspoons - Cayenne Pepper (I use Harvest Farm UPC: 0 86854 06044 5)
1 - Large Lemon cut in half
1 pinch of Coarse Kosher Salt (I use Morton UPC: 0 24600 01707 7)
LouAna Peanut Oil - Great for High-Heat Pan-Frying around 450 degrees fahrenheit, LouAna Peanut Oil has a slightly nutty flavor that improves the taste of most fried foods. (Use an amount needed to almost cover the crab.)
Optional Ingredients:
For added sweet flavor use madhava clean & simple Unrefined Organic Coconut Sugar. I would add about 4tbs per every two crabs.
Note: Fresh Soft-Shell Crabs don’t have to be cleaned. All parts are edible if the crab is cooked alive.
Cleaning a Soft-Shell Crab:
First rinse the crab off with cold water. Then with a scissors remove the eyes and mouth. If you wish you can squeeze out the contents through the opening. Then flip the crab over and remove the apron. Last thing to remove is the gills. The Soft-Shell Crab has one on each side. With the Soft-Shell Crab turned right side up, with your fingers, lift up one pointed end of the crab's outer shell. With your scissors cut the gill off and repeat this for the other side. Repeat the above for each Soft-Shell Crab and when you're done the Soft-Shell Crabs are ready to be cooked.
Cooking Directions:
Step One - Clean and Rinse the Soft-Shell Crabs. After the Soft-Shell Crabs are cleaned you will need to pat them down with paper towels to remove the cold water. Make sure you lift the right and left sides of the shell to dry where the gills were. Important: The goal is to dry up any remaining cold water before you bread the Soft-Shell Crab to prevent putting any cold water in the hot peanut oil.
Step Two - Pour the peanut oil to a depth of 3 inches into a high wall pot; heat to 400º.
Step Three - Whisk together milk, egg, and salt in a large bowl.
Step Four - Dredge crabs in the milk and eggs and then in the Zatarain's Fish Fri.
Step Five - Fry the Soft-Shell Crabs in batches of two or three (depending on the size), in hot oil 3 to four minutes or until golden brown.
Step Six - When the Soft-Shell Crabs are done remove them to a paper towel covered plate to allow the hot oil to drain and the crab to cool.
Step Seven - apply your Lemon to the top of the Fried Soft-Shell Crab to your liking.
Step Eight - Eat & Enjoy!!
