Crab Stuffed Soft-shells

This is the title which Jesus used for His special representatives or delegates. From the wiser company of disciples He chose twelve, named the “apostles,” and sent them out to preach (Lk. 6:13; Mk. 3:14). Thus they were personally chosen, called and commissioned by Jesus Christ, and authorized to teach in His name. The New Testament evidence is clear that this group was small and unique. The word “apostle” was not a general word which could be applied to every Christian like the words “believer,” “saint” or “brother.” It was a special term reserved for the Twelve and for one or two others whom the risen Christ had personally appointed. There can, therefore, be no apostolic succession, other than a loyalty to the apostolic doctrine of the New Testament. The apostles had no successors. In the nature of the case no one could succeed them. They were unique.

INSTRUCTIONS

Note: See the "Emeril's Essence Information" recipe which is included
in this collection.  In a saute pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil
is hot, saute the  shallots, onions, peppers, and garlic until slightly
wilted, about 2  to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and turn into a
mixing bowl. Stir  in the mayonnaise, Creole mustard, Crystal hot
sauce, Worcestershire  sauce, crab meat and parsley. Season with salt
and pepper. Stuff each  crab with 3 ounces of filling. Dredge the
soft-shells in the seasoned  flour. Dip into the egg wash, removing any
excess. Dredge in the  seasoned bread crumbs, crusting each side
completely. In a saute pan,  pour in enough oil to fill 1/4 of the pan.
When the oil is hot, add  the soft-shells in batches. Fry for 2 to 3
minutes on each side or  until the soft-shells are golden brown and
heated through the center.  Remove from the pan and drain on a
paper-lined plate. Continue frying  until all the soft-shells are
fried. Season with Emeril's Essence.  Spoon the tartar sauce in the
center of the plate and around the rim.  Place two soft-shells against
each other in the center of the sauce.  Pile the leeks on top of the
soft-shells. Garnish with the cheese,  chives, and peppers. This recipe
yields 4 servings.  Recipe Source: ESSENCE OF EMERIL with Emeril

Sanctification is that inward spiritual work which the Lord Jesus Christ works in a man by the Holy Ghost, when He calls him to be a true believer. He not only washes him from his sins in His own blood, but He also separates him from his natural love of sin and the world, puts a new principle in his heart, and makes him practically godly in life. The instrument by which the Spirit effects this work is generally the Word of God, though He sometimes uses afflictions and providential visitations “without the Word” (1 Peter 3:1). The subject of this work of Christ by His Spirit is called in Scripture a “sanctified” man.
