SOFT-SHELL CRAB CROSTINI WITH ARUGULA BUTTER
For easy weeknight meals, I dry my cleaned crabs thoroughly so they don't steam, then sauté them in plenty of butter or oil. You could use a breading like flour or cornmeal to augment the crunch factor, but it also impedes the sweetness of the meat. And good crabs don't really need it. The trick is to know when to take them off the heat. As soon as they turn from gray-brown to rust and white, the texture goes from soft to taut and they are ready. Soft-shell crabs don't need much adornment; a squirt of citrus and some freshly ground black pepper offset the funky sea flavor beautifully. But a little garlic and something green and sprightly (here, a combination of arugula and chives) can make them even better.

Steps:
- Finely chop 1/4 cup of the arugula. Combine in a bowl with the butter, chives, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Heat 4 tablespoons of the arugula butter mixture in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crabs and cook, without moving, until crisp and golden, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt.
- Preheat the broiler. Place the bread on a baking sheet and run under the broiler until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. (Watch carefully to see that they don't burn.) Spread the toasted bread with the remaining butter and each slice with a crab. Thinly slice the remaining arugula and sprinkle on top of each serving.

SOFT-SHELL CRAB WITH LEMON HERB BUTTER AND SPRING VEGETABLE RAGOUT
Steps:
- Clean the crabs and remove the air sacs by lifting the bib on both sides. In a stainless bowl, add the milk and buttermilk and place the crabs in it to coat.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour and salt and pepper, to taste.
- In a non-corrosive pan over high heat, add 2 tablespoons of water. Bring to a boil and gradually whisk in the butter, lowering the heat and whisking constantly until all is incorporated. Keep warm.
- Bring 4 saucepans of salted water to a boil. Blanche the haricots in one, the favas in another, the peas in a third and asparagus in a fourth. When just cooked, strain the vegetables and add each into separate ice water baths. Strain and reserve the haricots, peas and peel the favas, keeping cool. When favas are cooled, peel outer skin and reserve. Cut the asparagus on the bias.
- In a saute pan, add 1 ounce of the butter sauce and over medium heat, add the shallots. Sweat until transparent and add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Saute the scallions (or pearl onions) and radishes until warmed through. They should still be crisp. Add the blanched favas, haricots verts, peas and roasted scallions or pearl onions and cook a few more minutes. Check salt and pepper and add savory. Keep warm.
- Preheat and oven to 375 degrees F.
- Remove the soft-shell crabs from the milk mixture and shake off excess. Dip into seasoned flour and shake off any excess.
- In a saute pan over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and when hot, add the soft-shells, top down. Saute about 2 minutes until brown and crisp and turn. Place in an oven for 2 to 3 minutes until cooked through. Remove from pan and wipe out, keeping crabs warm. Deglaze with the lemon juice, add the butter sauce, tarragon and chervil; do not boil.
- On 4 warm plates, place about 1/2-cup of the vegetable mixture and 1 soft-shell crab, surround with the butter herb sauce.

Steps:
- In a large pot filled with cold water, soak the corn for 30 minutes.
- Blanch the asparagus in a large pot of boiling water and transfer to a bowl of ice water. Meanwhile, prepare the Arugula Pesto.
- Prepare a stove-top griddle or outdoor grill. Grill the corn in the husk, turning occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes. (If your grill has a cover, close it to allow the corn to steam.) Brush the asparagus with some of the olive oil and grill for 4 to 5 minutes, turning once or twice. Use a vegetable tray to prevent the asparagus from falling through the grill rack. Transfer the corn and asparagus to a large platter and serve with the Arugula Pesto.
- Grill the crabs until bright orange and slightly charred, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper. Place the greens in a large salad bowl and set the crabs on top.
