    I've always been afraid to cook soft shells at home. I prefer sauted soft shells and this recipe made it easy. They were soooooooooo tasty. I had the guys at my seafood store clean the crabs for me and that made it even easier. I made sure to use unsalted butter since the capers are always packed in brine. I served them with a grape tomato and artichoke heart whole wheat couscous.

    I've tried other recipes trying to make a decent softshell crab at home but this was the best! Didn't have white wine so I sub'd some sherry and it was just great. Served with some fresh rocket chopped and sprinkled on top-tasty combo!

    I made this last night for dinner and it was loved by everyone. I served it with sugar snap peas sauteed with cherry tomatoes and mint. The dishes worked great together. The only thing I might do differently next time is not use all the sauce when serving. The sauce has a strong flavor and a few people thought I put to much sauce on the crab which detracted from the crab flavor.

    I will definitely make this again!

    I've eaten soft shell crabs that were sauteed before and found them to be needing a bit more flavor. This easy to make sauce adds a great flavor without being overpowering. The sauce has a unique, but great tasting flavor. Highly recommended!

    Tasty dish, easy to prepare. My capers were packed in salt so the sauce might have been a bit salty. Would definitely try again.
