Number Of Ingredients 11

3 soft-shell crabs cleaned, patted dry
Salt to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
1 cup flour
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves sliced
2 tablespoons capers drained

Season crabs with salt and pepper and dredge in the flour, shaking off excess. Set aside. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil and saute the crabs until soft, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the crabs and set aside. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Then add the capers and white wine. Cook until wine has reduced to about 1/2. Swirl in the butter and the chopped chives. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer crabs to a plate, spoon sauce over the crabs and garnish with Essence. This recipe yields 3 appetizer servings.
