Crispy Fried Soft Shell Crabs


My husband has been asking me to cook fried soft shell crab for him for a long time. We finally bought some frozen soft shell crabs from a fish market.

I cleaned crab according to this YouTube vedio:

1. Wipe the crabs with kitchen towel.

2. In a bowl add in 1/4 cup milk and half of a small beaten egg. Mix them well.

3. In a platter, add in 1/2 cup flour, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Mix them well too.

4. Dip crab in flour mixture first, then milk mixture and last flour mixture again. Shake off the excess.

5. Heat some oil in the pan. I shallow fried them instead of deep frying. When the oil becomes very hot, put flour-coated crabs in. Fry each side till golden brown. Actually, I fried them till dark golden brown so that they can be very crispy.


Serve with lemon wedges.

My husband loves it. He said it’s almost same as he had in restaurant.

Easy Version of Bang Bang Shrimp

Sometimes, I’m feeling like very lazy. Then I will try some easy dishes or simplify some complicated dishes.

1. Clean shrimps (actually I used small prawns) and remove the shell and head.

2. Marinate shrimps with a little salt and black pepper.

3. In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup flour and 1/8 cup starch. In another small bowl, beat in one egg.

4. Heat skillet on stove, pour in enough oil to fry shrimps.

5. First, put shrimps in egg, then dip in flour mixture and let them be coated with thick flour.

6. Fry them till golden brown.

7. In a big bowl, add in 1/4 cup mayonnaise ( I used salad cream) and 3-5 tsp hot & sweet chili sauce. If you want it to be more spicy, then you can add more. Because my husband can’t accept spicy food, so I just added 3 tsp. Also add in some chopped spring onion or parsley. Mix them well.

8. Put fried shrimps into sauce. Stir well to let shrimps be coated with sauce.

Ready to serve.

Easy but delicious. My husband loves it.
