Fried Or Grilled Crab Claws Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Preparation

   If using frozen crab claws, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight. Pat dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Breading the Crab Claws

   In a bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Dip each crab claw first into the egg mixture and then into the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.

3. 3

   Frying Method

   In a deep frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded crab claws in batches, frying until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Grilling Method

   Preheat a grill to medium heat. Melt butter and brush it onto the crab claws. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are heated through and have nice grill marks.

5. 5

   Serving

   Serve the fried or grilled crab claws with lemon wedges on the side.
