Grilled Soft Shell Crab’s 🦀 This is a different way of making a crab and it did NOT disappoint. I can’t believe I never thought of this because this is way better than pan seared 😭🔥 Soft Shell crabs are unique because you do not have to pick through them, you can eat the whole thing like a burrito ! & the @kingsford charcoals adds that extra grill flavor ! Soft shell crabs from: @luke_mcfad Seasonings Old Bay Old Bay Hot Sauce Old Bay Garlic Butter Cook on both sides for about 6-7 Minutes ENJOY ! :) #maryland #softshellcrab #crabs #crab #crabing #marylandcrabs #kingsford

A rough recipe for y’all This soft shell crab with the sauce is definitely one to try: Green sauce: Green chilli Condense milk Coriander Lime juice and zest Garlic Shallot Kaffir lime leaves Blitz - Soft shell crab: Egg white Self raising flour Water Yellow Thai curry paste Thin, dip floured crab, then into panko and fry - The sauce is *chefs kiss* , and soft shell crab is also. Please dont ask me for quantities, when it tastes good and balanced you’ve nailed it. This is one of those recipes that just excites me, so promise it’ll excite you too, even if you just make the sauce. #yachtchef #recipeshare #superyachtchef #softshellcrab #recipeideas
