Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | Soft shelled crab |
| 1/2 | Cup flour |
| 1 | Teaspoon adobo seasoning |
| 3 | Strips bacon |
| 1/4 | Cup bacon fat |
| 1 | Lettuce leaf |
| 1 | Red onion |
| Tomatoes | |
| Mayonnaise |
Instructions:
-
Mix flour and adobo seasoning in a shallow bowl or plate. This seasoned flour mixture will coat our soft shell crab perfectly, adding a delightful flavor to each bite. Set it aside for now.
-
Rinse and pat dry the soft shell crab. Ensure it’s completely dry before proceeding to the next step. This helps the flour mixture adhere better to the crab and ensures a crispy texture when fried.
-
Coat the soft shell crab evenly with the seasoned flour mixture. Press gently to ensure the flour sticks to all parts of the crab. This step is crucial for achieving that crispy, golden-brown exterior.
-
Heat bacon fat in a sauté pan over medium heat until it reaches a depth of about 1/4 inch. The bacon fat adds a rich, smoky flavor to our Crabbie Patty and helps achieve a crispy texture during frying.
-
Fry the coated soft shell crab in the hot bacon fat until it’s beautifully browned on both sides. This should take a few minutes per side. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.
-
Slice the kaiser roll and lightly toast it to add a crunchy contrast to the tender crab meat.
-
Spread mayonnaise generously on the toasted roll. This creamy condiment adds a rich and tangy flavor that complements the savory crab and bacon.
-
Assemble the Crabbie Patty by layering the fried soft shell crab, crispy bacon, fresh lettuce leaf, sliced red onion, and juicy tomato slices onto the mayo-slathered roll. Each layer contributes to the deliciousness of this sandwich, creating a symphony of flavors and textures.
-
Enjoy your homemade Crabbie Patty while it’s still warm and crispy. The combination of succulent crab meat, crispy bacon, and fresh veggies is sure to tantalize your taste buds with every bite. Serve it with your favorite side dish or enjoy it on its own for a satisfying meal experience. Bon appétit! 🎉
