SAUTEED SOFT-SHELL CRABS WITH CAPER BROWN BUTTER
Steps:
- To prepare the soft-shell crabs: Put the flour in a pie dish or plate and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper. Dredge the crabs in the seasoned flour to coat, shaking off the excess. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high flame. Lay the crabs in the hot oil in a single layer without crowding; you may have to fry them in batches. Be careful, the crabs have a tendency to pop and spatter. Cook the crabs for about 3 minutes on each side, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and cover to keep warm.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the pan. Let the butter melt and cook until it just begins to brown. Add the capers and wine; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until almost dry. Add the lemon juice and parsley; season with salt and pepper. Pour the caper brown butter sauce over the crabs and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Whisk flour, salt, and pepper; place on a dinner plate. Dredge 2 soft-shell crabs in flour mixture, shaking off excess (make sure crabs are completely coated).
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be very hot but not smoking. Place flour-coated crabs, back side down, in sauté pan; reduce heat to medium if pan starts to smoke. Sauté crabs until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes (do not stand too close to pan; crabs tend to spatter during cooking). Turn crabs over, and cook 2 minutes more.
- Add 1 tablespoon butter and a large pinch of parsley to skillet. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over crabs. Keep warm in a low oven. Repeat process until all the crabs are cooked.

- While the water is coming to a boil, heat the oil, butter, garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt in a large, deep skillet over low heat. Stir the mixture a few times to make sure the garlic doesn’t burn, and cook for about 3 minutes, or until the garlic is soft.
- Place the soft shell crabs into the skillet belly side down and cook until the crabs are red and cooked through. If you have a meat thermometer, remove the crabs from heat once an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit has been reached. Shake the pan occasionally so the crabs don’t stick to the bottom.
- As the crabs are cooking, cook the pasta until it is just slightly hard in the center. Add the peas and spinach and cook for another minute or so until the pasta becomes al dente and the spinach is wilted. The vegetables should be a deep and vibrant green. Drain the pasta and vegetables, reserving ¾ cups of the pasta water.

- Cook Pasta: Add 3 ½ to 4 quarts (14-16 cups) of water to a large pot and bring to a boil. Season the water with 1 ½ tablespoon of kosher salt. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until 1 minute shy of al dente according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of cooking water and then drain the pasta.
- While the pasta is cooking, sauté shallots + aromatics: Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large, high-sided sauté pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until just softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the wine + tomatoes: Add the wine followed by the tomatoes to the pan. Season with a generous pinch of pepper. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Simmer, stirring often, until the wine is reduced by about half and the tomatoes are soft and juicy, about 6-8 minutes.
