Broiled Devilled Soft Shell Crabs

Remove spongy parts under side points, tear off aprons, wash thoroughly and drain on a cloth twelve fresh soft shell crabs. Mix on a plate a tablespoon oil, teaspoon salt and half teaspoon pepper. Repeatedly roll crabs in seasoning, arrange on a double broiler and briskly broil for two minutes on each side, remove, evenly spread on both sides a devilled butter, roll them in bread crumbs, and broil again for two minutes on each side. Remove and dress on six freshly prepared, trimmed toasts, decorate with six quarters lemon and a little parsley greens and serve.
