Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crabs

    Clean the soft shell crabs by removing their gills and innards. Rinse well under cold water and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Cook the Crabs

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the crabs and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, lemon juice, remaining olive oil, soy sauce, and sesame seeds. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes (halved), cucumber (sliced), and avocado (diced). Drizzle with the ginger dressing and toss gently.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the salad and top with the crispy soft shell crabs. Serve immediately and enjoy!
