This was something my mom didn't use a recipe for. Mom hated to cook. This one thou she would get a gleeful sparkle in her eyes. Real good with fresh crab but mom would just use canned crab meat .. Usually one of just crab meat one of lump crab. We all enjoyed these and looked forward to dad's business dinners at home as mom was...

Deep-Fried Soft-Shell Crab image

Don't be put off by the idea of eating the whole crab. It's tender, slightly salty, and delicious. And the insides look like straight meat after frying with no visible "guts."

AMAZING CRAB STUFFED PASTA SHELLS



Amazing Crab Stuffed Pasta Shells image

I was making these for Easter this year and didn't fully like any of the recipes I found, so I came up with this one from ingredients from about 10 recipes. These are very filling, so you may want to slice in half before serving. Or, I did see some large pasta shells (not the stuffing ones) about 1/4 the size and thought these would be better.
