Pan Fried Soft Shell Crabs & Seafood Boil

Ingredients: 
asparagus, green beans, red potatoes, 1 LB shrimp, soft crabs, sweet corn, 
old bay, flour, 2 eggs, oil, yellow mustard

Boil 3 quarts of water with old bay to taste. After water boils add red 
potatoes (they take about 12 mins to cook). Add soft crabs for 3-4 mins or until 
crabs have a red color around the edges. Remove crabs. Dip crabs in beaten 
eggs. Dip crabs in flour. Put crabs in hot oil (just enough to cover the 
bottom of the frying pan). Fry 3 mins on each side adding a little yellow mustard 
to the top of the crabs before flipping. Remove from heat and place on paper 
towel.

After potatoes have boiled for 7 mins, add shucked corn to pot. After 
another 2 mins, add asparagus and green beans. After another minute, add shrimp. 
Shrimp take about 2 1/2 mins and after that everything will be done at the same 
time. Strain, present and enjoy. Clams, lobster and oysters may also be 
added if desired.
