Ingredients:

Serving

corn or peanut oil, for frying
soft-shell crabs
3/4 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup seltzer water , ice cold
salt and cayenne pepper , to taste
2 1/2 cups balsamic vinegar
1 cup port wine
1 onion, diced
3 cups red pepper juice
1/4 cup honey
1 cup port wine
salt , to taste
1/4 tsp arrowroot
1/4 cup wasabi powder
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup creme fraiche
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
salt , to taste

Directions:

Wasabi Cream:
For Tempura Batter: Whisk together ingredients. Can be used for up to 1 hour. Keep cold!
For Crabs: Heat 1/4-inch of corn or peanut oil in a heavy skillet until very hot but not smoking. Fry the crabs in batches for about 2 minutes on the first side, then turn and fry for another minute. The crust should be golden. Be prepared the crabs will split when you fry them; a splatter screen will come in handy.
Drain on paper towels and serve with dipping sauces.
For Balsamic Syrup:
Put all ingredients together and reduce over medium heat, down to 1/4 of its liquid. Strain and discard onion.
For Red Pepper Syrup:
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Reduce down to 3/4 of a cup. Thicken with the arrowroot.
For Wasabi Cream:
Dissolve Wasabi in water. Whisk in creme fraiche and lemon juice. Season with salt.
