Thai Style Soft Shell Crab

Rinse the crabs and pat dry on a paper towel. Lightly dust them in the flour.

In a saucepan, heat the olive oil to a medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, chili and pepper until soft and add the crabs. Cook on each side for 1 minute or until there is a nice brown crust to the crab.

Add the basil and coconut milk and cook the sauce down until it is smooth, creamy and all ingredients are well blended. Keep turning the crabs in the sauce so both sides are coated.

In a shallow serving dish, pour the entire contents of the pan into a dish. Sprinkle with a bit of fresh basil and serve immediately. Await applause.
