Crab Claws

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Claws

    Rinse the crab claws under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour mixed with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix with milk. In a third bowl, place the cornmeal.

  3. 3

    Bread the Crab Claws

    Dip each crab claw first in the flour mixture, then in the egg wash, and finally coat with cornmeal.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry the Crab Claws

    Carefully add the breaded crab claws to the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the crab claws from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
