Preparation & Serving Instructions

Maryland Soft Shell Crabs: These soft shell crabs arrive cleaned and frozen. If thawing crabs, thaw under refrigeration before cooking. DO NOT THAW OR COOK IN PACKAGE. Cut film to remove crabs.
For each of the following, unwrap soft shell crabs then thaw thoroughly, preferably by leaving them covered, in the refrigerator.
Sautéing: Sprinkle soft crabs with salt and pepper, or season with Old Bay for authentic taste. Coat crabs with flour (or substitute). Sauté crabs in a hot frying pan in a small amount of cooking oil or margarine until golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
Suggested Recipe for Broiling or Grilling:
Marinade Ingredients: Soft shell crabs, 1-1/2 cups white wine, 5-6 drops hot sauce, 2 garlic cloves (or 1/4 tsp garlic powder), 1/4 cup soy sauce, olive oil
Instructions: Mix all ingredients together except for the soft crabs. Add mixture to a baking dish. Add soft crabs, cover and marinate for 30 minutes. Place soft crabs on grill and cook until crabs turn red, approximately 7-10 minutes. Baste with marinade and turn often. To broil, follow the same procedures except broil instead of grill.
Suggested Recipe for Breading:
Use a standard coating/breading or make your own by using half flour and half cornmeal, seasoned with garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper or Old Bay.

Sweet Corn Hush Puppies:
Bake: Preheat the oven to 425°. Arrange the frozen hush puppies on a baking sheet, and place them on the center rack of the oven. Bake the Sweet Corn Hush Puppies for 14-16 minutes until they reach the desired golden brown color and crispness. For best results, turn the hush puppies over halfway through. Let the gourmet hush puppies cool for three minutes before serving.
Deep Fry: Thaw the frozen Sweet Corn Hush Puppies for 30 minutes. Deep fry them at 350°F for two and half minutes to the desired color and crispness. Let the hush puppies stand for three minutes before serving.
Air Fry: Preheat Air Fryer to 350°F. Place frozen hushpuppies in air fryer basket. Cook for 9-11 minutes or until desired browning occurs. Shake basket halfway through. Let stand 3 minutes before serving.

For Safety and Quality: Carefully follow thawing and cooking instructions. The internal temperature of the gourmet hush puppies should reach 165°F. Refrigerate the leftovers.

French Onion Soup: Keep frozen until ready to prepare. Remove all packaging. Ensure the product reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Since individual appliances vary in temperature, these instructions serve as guidelines only. Let stand for 2 to 3 minutes before serving as the product is very hot.
Conventional Oven (Recommended Method): Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 1 soup, cheese on top, in an ovenproof bowl (300 mL bowl capacity). Heat for 40 minutes or until the cheese becomes golden brown.
Microwave Oven: When heated in the microwave, the cheese will become mixed in the soup. Place 1 soup, cheese on top, in a microwave-safe bowl (300 mL bowl capacity). Heat on HIGH for 3 minutes. Stir and heat for 2 more minutes.
Quicker Oven Method: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place soup, cheese on top, in a bowl suitable for both ovens (300 mL bowl capacity). Heat 1 soup for 3 minutes on HIGH in the microwave oven (1000W). Remove soup from microwave oven; sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of additional shredded Swiss or other firm cheese over top of soup (not included). Heat for 20 minutes in preheated oven or until the cheese becomes golden brown.

Apple Pie: Keep frozen until ready to prepare.
Preheat oven to 325°F. Place “Pie in a Bag” on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 50-60 minutes. Cooking times may vary. Please keep pie in the bag when baking. Do not let the bag touch the side of the oven or heating element. Do not remove bag until cooking is complete.
Slicing: Use an electric or serrated knife to slice to preserve the crunchy broken top crust.

Maryland Soft Shell Crab Dinner

Maryland Soft Shell Crab Dinner pairs four cleaned, flash-frozen soft-shell crabs with French onion soup, sweet corn hush puppies and an eight-inch apple pie. The crab is ready for cooking rather than ready to eat, with sautéing, grilling and broiling guidance in the complete preparation panel.

What Is Included

4 cleaned Maryland soft-shell crabs, about 4.5-5 inches in diameter
4 French onion soups, 10 oz. each
1 package of sweet corn hush puppies, 1 lb.
1 apple pie, 8 inches

Serves 4, matching the supplier's whole-meal serving statement.

Preparation and Serving

Remove crabs from their packaging and thaw them thoroughly under refrigeration before cooking. Do not thaw or cook the crabs in their package. Follow the separate methods for the crabs, hush puppies, soups and apple pie; the supplier's suggested crab marinade and breading use additional ingredients that are not included.

Read the complete Preparation & Ingredients information before cooking. Serving dishes, photographic garnishes and additional recipe ingredients are not included unless expressly listed in the package contents.

Common Question

Does this dinner include the crab marinade or breading?
No. The crabs are cleaned and frozen. Wine, hot sauce, garlic, soy sauce, oil, flour, cornmeal and seasonings mentioned in the suggested recipes are additional ingredients you supply, not package contents.
