INSTRUCTIONS

Soft-shell crabs are one of the great culinary joys of springtime.
They should be purchased fresh, and most fish markets are happy to
clean them for you. If not, the technique takes a little courage, but
once you get the knack, it's really quite easy: Rinse each crab under
cold water and, with scissors, snip off the head about 1/4" behind  the
eyes. Turn the crab over on its back; lift and pull off the  triangular
apron on the lower part of the shell. Flip the crab over  and pull back
the points of the top shell. Remove and discard the  gills on both
sides. Rinse the cleaned crab and pat dry.  Soak prepared crabs in milk
for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bag,  combine flour, paprika, garlic
powder and cayenne. Shake well;  reserve. Remove the crabs from the
milk and dredge in the seasoned  flour. Shake off any excess flour.
Melt butter in a large skillet  over medium-high heat. Saute crabs, two
at a time, for 4-5 minutes  per side, or until crispy and browned.
Remove to a paper towel to  drain. Spread each toasted bun with 1
tablespoon of Cajun Mayonnaise,  or more if desired. Sprinkle scallions
on bottom half of bun, then  top with a crab. Cover with top half of
the bun and serve immediately.  Per serving (includes the 1 tablespoon
of Cajun Mayonnaise): 361  calories, 11 grams fat, 89 milligrams
