Crispy crablets are baby crabs marinated with rum, salt and pepper. Then coated with flour and deep fried. As per instructions, don’t forget to remove the carapace of the crab. It’s the upper shell cover of the crab which is very hard and have spikes which might be unpleasant to eat. Selecting the size of the crablets are also important. The smaller the better about an inch or slightly larger. Because the shells are thinner if the crabs are about that size. And when you deep fry it, the crablets will then become crispy.

To cook crispy crablets; Wash crablets and drain thoroughly. Remove and discard the carapace of each crablets. In a clean mixing bowl, combine crablets, rum, salt and ground black pepper. Mix and marinate for 15 minutes. Sprinkle and mix flour to marinated crablets. Heat oil in a wok and deep fry crablets until crispy. Drain excess oil. Serve with vinegar sauce.
