Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sizzled leeks (julienned leeks tossed in flour and fried until crispy then seasoned with essence)
- 2 tbsp brunoise red peppers
Directions:
- In a saute pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, saute the shallots, onions, peppers, and garlic until slightly wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and turn into a mixing bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, Creole mustard, Crystal hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, crab meat and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Stuff each crab with 3 ounces of filling. Dredge the soft-shells in the seasoned flour. Dip into the egg wash, removing any excess. Dredge in the seasoned bread crumbs, crusting each side completely. In a saute pan, pour in enough oil to fill 1/4 of the pan. When the oil is hot, add the soft-shells in batches. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until the soft-shells are golden brown and heated through the center. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper-line plate. Continue frying until all the soft-shells are fried. Season with Essence. Spoon the tartar sauce in the center of the plate and around the rim. Place two soft-shells against each other in the center of the sauce. Pile the leeks on top of the soft-shells. Garnish with the cheese, chives, and peppers.
