Stuffed Soft-Shell Crabs
Recipe
- 8 soft-shell crabs, cleaned
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup minced green onions, including tops
- ¼ teaspoon pressed garlic
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
- ¾ cup fresh bread crumbs
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Preheat the oven to 400° F.
Melt ¼ cup butter in a medium skillet and lightly sauté onions. Stir in garlic, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Remove from heat and combine with crumbs and Parmesan.
Place crabs in a well-greased baking dish, bottom sides down. Lift each side of top shells and fill with stuffing mix. Replace shells. Brush crabs with 3 tablespoons melted butter. Bake until shells are reddish-brown and crabs are done, about 15 minutes.
