Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Soft Shell Crabs
Rinse the soft shell crabs under cold water and pat dry. In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg. In a third dish, place breadcrumbs.
Bread the Crabs
Coat each crab first in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Set aside.
Fry the Crabs
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded crabs for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Cook the Bacon
In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Sandwich
Spread mayonnaise on the inside of both Po-Boy buns. Layer with lettuce, sliced tomato, crispy bacon, and the fried soft shell crabs.
Serve
Remove from the grill, slice in half, and serve warm.
