Stuffed Crab Shell

Whenever I visit the wet market, I will make sure of getting some of this small crabs. Sometimes my friends wonder why am I buying such crabs as they don't contain much meat and it seems to be useless. Well, the shell is the gem and I use it for my dish. I will use a mixture of meat and stuff it into the shells and deep fried them. The taste is absolutely divine.

Firstly I will have a dozen of the shell by removing the meat. I will use fish paste, prawn paste and crab meat minced together and stuffed them into the shell. Deep fry them.
