Here is a great, but not complete list, of non-meat sources of protein, calcium and iron. Most are plant-based and can accommodate both vegans and vegetarians, but a few are non-vegan. Nuts, soy products (tofu, tempeh, miso, soy milk, edamame), seeds and sprouts, grains (quinoa, amaranth), beans and legumes.
Soft Shell Crabs- Soft crabs can be kept in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Any longer length of time they should be stored in the freezer. Soft crabs can be sautÃ©ed in a pan at medium heat with garlic butter until red develops on the shell and the underside develops a slightly golden color.
Hard shell crabs have been steamed with seasoning, then chilled. Refrigerate crabs immediately upon receipt. They may be enjoyed cold, at room temperature or heated. Place a raised rack in the bottom of a large pan (minimum of 2 inches), try not to let the crabs touch the water. Add equal quantities of water, vinegar & beer to just below level of rack. Layer crabs; sprinkle each layer with mixture of crab seasoning and salt. Cover and steam for 6-8 minutes.
