Estimated cooking time:15 minutes (for 4 crabs)
| Ingredients |
Quantity |
| Soft-shelled crabs, frozen |
2 for each person |
| Tumeric powder |
small pinch |
| Basil leaves |
generous sprinkle |
| Rosemary |
small pinch |
| Powdered white pepper |
generous dashes |
| Corn flour or plain flour |
enough to cover all the crabs |
| Olive-oil margarine, salted |
about 3 tablespoons |
Preparing the ingredients
- For each frozen crab, wash it in a bowl of water. Drain well. You may want to use a fresh bowl of water for each crab if the water turns dark in colour after a wash.
- Mix the tumeric powder, basil leaves, rosemary, pepper and flour in a large bowl.
- Place each crab in the bowl of flour mixture and ensure that all areas of the crab are well covered with the flour mixture.
Cooking
- Put the salted margarine in a non-stick frying pan and heat up the pan.
- When the margarine has melted and the oil is hot enough, place a crab in.
- Fry each crab accordingly. Draining of the crabs onto kitchen towels are optional since the healthier olive-oil margarine is used. And since the margarine is salted, no salt is required for the dish.
- Serve the crabs immediately while they are still hot and a little crispy.
Bon appetite!
