Singaporean Pepper Crab

"Delicious and decadent pepper crab. You can use dunginess crab if mud crab is not available or you can also use soft shelled crabs or prawns since they are easier to eat and less messy too. If you're using soft shelled crabs add 1 cup of flour for dredging."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Victoria, British Columbia. I am happily married to the most wonderful guy on earth:) Aside from being a wanna be chef, I am also a wanna be children's book author, and a famous crooner in the shower aside from being a frustrated painter/illustrator and a real trying hard golfer. I love experimenting with different dishes from countries all over the world. I am constantly experimenting with new recipes and different types of fresh herbs and spices. I collect cookbooks and magazines. Most of the recipes I've posted and I will be posting are from the different magazines such as Bon Appetite, Chatelaine, Cucina, Hello, Home Maker and Gourmet. I will also try to post recipes that I've grown up with as well as those that came from family and friends.
