Serves 2.

Ingredients

Directions

Prepare crabs, cutting each into 2 pieces. Combine flour with salt, pepper and sugar, and roll each piece of crab in the mixture, then dust off excess.

Hello! Tried this recipe and it turned out quite good. Delicious! Just one suggestion---I think it would turn out even better if you add tons of minced garlic and deep-frying it with the crabs.
