Instructions: * Note: Buy them cleaned - remove the sponge under the shell and the apron on the bottom.

Saute up some olive oil with a dab of butter and slide in a couple of julienned garlic cloves with some fresh dill or rosemary needles with a splash of white wine. Saute and reduce a bit.

Dice up some fresh basil leaves and mix them in some flour. Dredge the crabs and slide them into the big heavy saute pan for 5 to 8 minutes, flipping them once.

A little French bread, some Caesar salad, and finish that bottle of wine.
