Preparation

  1. Step 1

    To make the vinaigrette, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the salt, pepper, mustard and vinegar. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the corn oil and then the olive oil. Stir in the garlic and herbs. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Coat the crabs lightly with the flour. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the corn oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat until the oil smokes. Add the crabs top side down and sauté for 1½ minutes. Turn the crabs over, lower the heat to medium and sauté until browned on the bottom and cooked through, about 3½ minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Spoon a pool of the vinaigrette into the center of 4 plates. Pat the crabs dry and place in the vinaigrette. Serve immediately.
