Soft Shell Crab Po'Boy Recipe.

Ingredients:

4 soft-shell crabs, cleaned and patted dry
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
French bread or baguette
Lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles for dressing
Spicy remoulade sauce for spreading

Recipe Instructions:

Place the cleaned and dried soft-shell crabs in a shallow dish and pour the buttermilk over them. Let them soak for about 15 minutes.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Remove the crabs from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge them in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Fry the soft-shell crabs in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Slice the French bread or baguette lengthwise and spread spicy remoulade sauce on both sides. Layer the fried soft-shell crabs onto the bread and dress with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles.
