--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3                    Soft shelled crabs
   5       T            Butter
   1       T            Oil
   2       T            Pecans

  Prepare the crabs by removing the eyes, dead-men
  (spongy grey gills), and sand sack.  Heat 3
  tablespoons of the butter and the oil in a heavy
  skillet until hot and sizzling.  Add the crabs.  Saute
  a few minutes on each side.  Remove to a warm plate.
   Meanwhile, brown the pecans in 1-2 tablespoons
  butter.  Pour over the crabs and serve. From Nathalie
